Lucas Torreira tackle vs Tottenham

Lucas Torreira tackle vs Tottenham: The Arsenal midfielder shined for the side in the North London derby.

Arsenal completed an utter domination over their North London rivals as they cruised to a 4-2 victory over Pochettino’s side. Aubameyang scored a brace, while Lacazette and Torreira scored to ensure three points.

Earlier, Tottenham took a lead in the game at halftime as Arsenal conceded two quick goals after scoring the opener through Aubameyang. However, the striker hit a brilliant shot from outside the box to reach double-figures for the league season in the second half to bring scores level.

Lacazette gave Arsenal the lead, while Torreira scored his first goal for Arsenal since joining the club to complete a brilliant comeback for Arsenal.

Torreira shined for Arsenal on the day, and was judged the man of the match in the game. The midfielder has shown his tackling skills in the past for the Gunners, and the game against Tottenham was no different.

Lucas Torreira was lethal in the midfield for Tottenham, and a video of his tackles on Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen within the space of 10 seconds to retrieve the ball has gone viral.

Torreira displayed amazing athleticism and was accurate with his tackles, as he successfully won possession from the Tottenham duo.

Here’s the video:

Lucas Torreira also scored the fourth goal of the game, which was also his first in the Arsenal shirt. He celebrated by taking his shirt off and the crowd went berserk as they joined in.


Arsenal, with the win, have now moved up to 4th place in the Premier League table. Tottenham, meanwhile, have dropped out of the top four and are currently 5th. However, both the sides are level on points.

The Gunners will now take on Manchester United in the mid-week game on Wednesday, who are desperate for a turnaround in their dismal season so far. Mourinho’s side is currently 7th in the league and were held to a 2-2 draw by the relegation-threatened Southampton.
