Former Arsenal player Ian Wright believes Arsenal duo Gabriel Martinelli and William Saliba are ‘playing like they have Infinity Stones’.
Lan Wright could not hide his delight at the Gunners London derby victory.
The 3-1 victory make Arsenal’s extend their leading at the top of the Premier League table.
It also spoiled Spurs’ unbeaten start to an end and marked revenge for Arsenal, who missed out on a top four spot last season to Antonio Conte’s side.

which are fictional items from the Avengers movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe which give whoever owns them strong and mysterious powers.
Wright:
‘It’s a great day.’ ‘It’s a phenomenal performance.
You see Granit Xhaka, it’s like he has a new lease of life.
‘Gabriel Martinelli and William Saliba are playing like they have Infinity Stones.’
But it was White who Wright was particularly impressed with as he singled out the defender for praise.
Wright continue:
‘When you look at the way Arsenal have improved – more shots, higher turnovers,
possession won in the final third… the one player that epitomised that for me today was Ben White.’
‘He was magnificent. Tottenham gave him a lot of space.
That was a fantastic performance – the most touches anyone had today was Ben White. So pleased for him.’
Wright also gave his opinion on the red card shown to Tottenham’s Emerson Royal after 62 minutes.
‘When you look at what’s happening, I think it summed up Emerson Royal’s game really.’
‘He’s going back towards his own goal, there’s no reason to make that challenge.’
