Watch Saka taunt Tottenham fans after awkward chant towards him against Spurs

The Gunners defeated rivals Tottenham 3-2 in the North London Derby clash in their push for the Premier League trophy.

Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and an own goal from Hojberg gave Arsenal a comfortable first-half lead before Romero and Son reduced the deficit.

The Arsenal sensation had an impeccable reply to some embarrassing chants directed his way by Tottenham fans during the heated clash.

In a video circulating on social media, as reported by the Sun, Saka can be seen approaching to take a corner as chants of "you let your country down" echo from the home end, referencing his Euro 2020 penalty miss. 

But as fate would have it, the taunts boomeranged immediately when Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg accidentally headed Saka's cross into his own net.

The crowd fell into an abrupt silence as Saka swiftly turned and cupped his hand to his ear, a gesture aimed directly at the Spurs faithful. It was a moment of pure class amidst the fiery atmosphere.

Not content with just one slice of retaliation, Havertz joined the party, rubbing salt into Tottenham's wounds. After notching the third goal before halftime, the German silenced the home fans with a simple yet effective gesture – a finger to his lips in celebration.

Despite a late Tottenham surge, Arsenal managed to cling onto their lead and snatch a crucial 3-2 victory at the home of their arch-rivals.

However, the race for the title is far from over, with Manchester City lurking just a point behind, albeit with a game in hand.
