Gary Neville was left unimpressed by three Tottenham players for their role in Arsenal\u2019s first goal of Sunday\u2019s North London Derby.<\/p>\n

Arsenal deservedly took the lead at the Emirates in the 26th minute, when Bukayo Saka\u2019s effort from just inside the box kindly deflected off Cristian Romero and into the back of the net.<\/p>\n
Romero was attempting to clear the ball behind for a corner, but Saka\u2019s effort looked to be heading wide, or was at least in saving range for Guglielmo Vicario.<\/p>\n
\u2018They\u2019ll be some that will say, \u201cit\u2019s just unlucky\u201d, but I think that\u2019s rash from Romero,\u2019 Neville said on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
\u2018Wafting his leg at it like that. It is an awkward height but that\u2019s the worst thing you can do because once you get contact on it Vicario has no chance.<\/p>\n
\u2018Romero should know he [Saka] is going for the far corner. Set yourself, plant your feet. He doesn\u2019t, ends up having a waft at it with his left leg.\u2019<\/p>\n
Neville wasn\u2019t done there though, and was heavily critical of Destiny Udogie and Brennan Johnson for allowing Saka so much time and space to have the effort that lead to the goal.<\/p>\n

\u2018It has been coming and it has been coming down this side with Saka and he gets some help,\u2019 the Manchester United legend added.<\/p>\n
\u2018No communication between the left-back Udogie and the left-winger Johnson. <\/p>\n
\u2018Saka was left with too much time to place his shot. It\u2019s really simple: Udogie stays with the runner Ben White. Johnson should go with Saka.<\/p>\n
\u2018We talked about Brennan Johnson [not] running back. He does run back with White but they both go with the full-back and it just leaves Saka with such an enormous amount of time to set it out into that far corner.<\/p>\n
\u2018It is just getting a bit too much for the Spurs left back\u2026. Spurs need to get up the pitch to take the pressure off their defenders.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018Postecoglou may have a decision to make about Udogie. He\u2019s been under enourmous pressure.\u2019<\/p>\n
