Jamie Carragher has said on Sky Sports Premier League (7:32pm, September 27, 2021) that Arsenal defender Ben White bullied Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane in the North London derby.
Tottenham suffered a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Kane had yet another disappointing Premier League game and failed to threaten the Gunners’ defence much.
Former Liverpool defender and Sky Sports pundit Carragher has said that Kane’s performance against Arsenal was not acceptable.
The Englishman has said that Arsenal central defender White bullied the 28-year-old Spurs striker.
Carragher said on Sky Sports Premier League (7:32pm, September 27, 2021): “Harry Kane, not at the races, really not acceptable, his performance in that game. He got bullied by Ben White.”
Ben White won Harry Kane duel
White has been playing well for Arsenal lately, and the former Leeds United loanee did get the better of Kane in their duel.
While Kane had chances, White did not really let him take shots from dangerous positions and forced the striker to drop deep on occasions.
The Tottenham no.10 took five shots against Arsenal, but only one of them was on target.
Kane had a pass accuracy of 45.5%, won one header, and took 25 touches.
White is growing as an Arsenal player, and the Emirates Stadium faithful will certainly be pleased with how the defender coped with Kane, who is one of the best strikers in the world.
