Tottenham Hotspur were beaten 4-2 by Arsenal in the North London derby yesterday, with Mauricio Pochettino’s side struggling.
Arsenal fans have hailed Sokratis, after he made a diving gesture at Tottenham Hotspur’s Heung-Min Son at full-time yesterday.
Spurs front man Son caused frustration in the Arsenal team, when he went down easily in the box, to earn Mauricio Pochettino’s side a penalty.
Although Rob Holding shouldn’t have dived in, there was a feeling Son could have done more to stay on his feet among many Arsenal fans.
And Sokratis won a lot of plaudits from the Emirates Stadium crowd for what he did to Son at full-time, as the Spurs man trudged off in defeat.
When Son won the penalty for Spurs, Harry Kane converted to put Tottenham ahead, but they were unable to hold on.
Tottenham collapsed in the second half, as they were unable to live with Arsenal.
The Gunners hit three goals in the second period to end up winning the contest 4-2.
Arsenal have now leapfrogged Tottenham in the Premier League table, and taken their rival’s place in the top four for now.
