Arsenal secured a third straight victory over rivals Tottenham on Sunday as the first North London derby of the campaign was settled by Gabriel’s stunning header. Spurs were unable to take advantage of the Gunners’ weak midfield, allowing the visitors to take three points from their trip.

“I will answer the question or will you continue to ask?,” he said Sky Sports. “No, really. I’ll fix it. I don’t often win things, I always win things in my second year.

“Nothing has changed. After all, I just said it now. I don’t say things unless I believe them.”

The Spurs manager was also asked to give his opinion on the game, confirming that he cares about the sets.

“For some reason people think I don’t care about the set pieces and it’s a story that can go on for years and years. I understand that. Like I said, we work on them all the time like we do on the rest of the team.

“You know they’re dangerous, like I said, for the most part, we handled them really well today, but we got one off and we paid the price and you learn from that and move on.

“That’s what happens. It was always going to be a strong game, good points. And it was an important moment. I have to keep giving feedback to the boys, trying to guide them in the right way. Let them see that in all their dominance in the game, you need to be clear in those moments and, that’s my role to try to guide them in the right way. “

Spurs return to action on Wednesday when they face Championship side Coventry in the Carabao Cup.
