Ian Wright is not pleased with Eddie Nketiah's foul on Guglielmo Vicario during the north London derby. The Arsenal legend admitted that the Gunner was lucky to stay on the pitch as the ball had gone at the time of the challenge.
"I think it was one where it is fortunate, simply because the ball is gone," Wright said on Match of the Day. "He was totally committed. I don't know if it was frustration, because of how the game was going for him. He had one shot on target today. I don't know if it is frustration. When you look at the ball, he was very fortunate to stay on. He got away with one there."
The Arsenal legend also highlighted his former team's goalscoring problems. He urged them to be more clinical if they want to have any chances of winning the Premier League title.
"If you are going to chase down Man City, the chances you are creating, you have to take them," Wright added. "We're talking about margins and 2-0 makes it a different game. We'd have seen a different kind of Spurs."
Arsenal will have a chance to put things right when they travel to face Brentford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. Wright will be hoping they can take their chances and come out with a victory. Only then can they make any progress in the league title race.
