In his column for Sportskeeda, Paul Merson blamed Emerson Royal for Tottenham’s heavy defeat to arch-rivals Arsenal within the North London derby and known as for Conte to contemplate changing the appropriate wing-back. He wrote:
“I don’t know what Emerson Royal was doing, he’s not adequate and his facet have been embarrassed by their native rivals owing to his purple card.
