Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka got on the scoresheet, but the opening goal came from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg turning the ball into his own net.

The opera was delighted with Sakas precise corner hitting Hojbjerg and beating Vicario at his near post.

The Italian goalkeeper appeared helpless in the situation, but upon reviewing the replays, it was evident that he may have been distracted.

As White stood waiting in the box, he was standing behind Vicario and beginning to eye up his gloves.

After observing them, he appeared to stick his hand out and attempt to remove one of the Spurs man’s gloves.

His attempt was unsuccessful but it forced Vicario to turn around and wave his arm in the air to get him off.

Seconds later, Hojbjerg’s deflection would sneak in at the near post to open the scoring for Arsenal.

Fans appreciated White’s attempt to distract Vicario, with one posting on social media: “He loves to employ the dark arts.”

Someone else wrote: “Vicario was clueless for a minute!”

“He’s a menace and we love him for it,” a third Arsenal fan said.

After a fourth posted: “Be𝚗 White’s technique of unsettling the goalkeeper yielding results once again.”

The outstanding goal that followed White’s antics was the beginning of a superb half from Arsenal.

They took control of the north London derby and cruised into a 3-0 lead at half time. However, Spurs pulled two back to make it 3-2.

Mikel Arteta’s side managed to hold on and picked up a crucial three points in the Premier League title race.

The Gunners are now four points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table, with City playing Nottingham Forest later on Sunday.
