Bukayo Saka\u2019s penalty 10 minutes after the restart appeared to have swung the momentum firmly back in the Gunners\u2019 favour after Spurs had hauled themselves back into the contest shortly before the break. <\/p>\n
Mikel Arteta\u2019s side, however, immediately shot themselves in the foot when Jorginho got himself in a tangle on the halfway line and conceded possession to James Maddison.<\/p>\n
The England international carried the ball deep into opposition territory and played a perfect pass into Son Heung-min who made no mistake to register his 150th goal in Tottenham colours. <\/p>\n
Rather than turn on their own player, the home crowd immediately chanted Jorginho\u2019s name, while Oleksandr Zinchenko was quick to attempt to lift his teammates\u2019 spirits.<\/p>\n

\u2018A painful mistake today,\u2019 admitted the experienced Italy international after the game. <\/p>\n
\u2018But seeing how everyone reacted after it to support and lift me up, my teammates, coaches, staff and the fans, it gives me even more motivation to work harder, because all of you deserve my best version. <\/p>\n
\u2018Thank you so much for the support Arsenal family.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018I love him, and we love him,\u2019 said Arteta in his post match conference of the January signing from Chelsea, who replaced the injured Declan Rice at half time.<\/p>\n
\u2018We all love him. That is a part of football, and they are allowed to make errors because they play.<\/p>\n
\u2018We don\u2019t play and for us it\u2019s really easy, but if there is someone who is there that will help the team and do the most, it\u2019s him. He\u2019s got it, and for Jorgi, we\u2019re all with him.\u2019<\/p>\n
