Ian Wright calls out Arsenal players for making careless mistakes that allowed Tottenham to make a comeback in the north London derby.

Arsenal faced off against their rivals Tottenham in the highly-anticipated north London derby this weekend. The Gunners took an early lead thanks to a nightmare own goal from Spurs' Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and an impressive strike from Bukayo Saka. With a three-goal advantage at halftime, it seemed like an easy victory for Mikel Arteta's men.

However, a series of mistakes from Arsenal's goalkeeper David Raya and midfielder Declan Rice allowed Tottenham to get back into the game. This gifted route back in for the home team and made for a tense finish in north London. Despite the pressure, the Gunners managed to hold on to their narrow lead and secure a 3-2 victory.

Arsenal legend Ian Wright was critical of Raya and Rice for their "rash" decisions that led to Tottenham's goals. He felt that they were fortunate not to have been punished for their mistakes in the second half. Wright also praised Saka for his impressive performance, causing problems for Tottenham's left-back Ben Davies throughout the game.

Wright acknowledged that it was a tough day for Davies, as he was up against a player who knew the importance of the derby match. Saka's goal was a perfect example of his determination and skill, as he made a bold forward run without worrying about the tight offsides margins.

The win was the main focus for Arsenal, with Wright relieved that they were able to secure all three points. He also highlighted the importance of maintaining control in such a highly-charged game, especially after Tottenham got back into the match.

The result keeps Arsenal in the race for the Premier League title, putting pressure on current champions Manchester City. However, Wright believes that the team needs to be more careful and avoid rash decisions in crucial moments, as seen with Raya's mistake and Rice's foul that led to the penalty.

In the end, it was a hard-fought victory for Arsenal, with Wright proud of the team's performance. He also praised Saka for his understanding of the derby's significance and his impressive goal-scoring record in the top flight this season.
