Graham Roberts hits back at Paul Merson after Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur

Merson has now praised Tottenham on Twitter.

Former Tottenham star Graham Roberts has responded to Merson’s post.

The pundit has hit back at Merson for his pre-match predictions.

Roberts has also noted that Martin Odegaard failed to make an impact on the match.

Martin Odegaard mocked

The 24-year-old attacking midfielder started on the right of a midfield-three in a 4-3-3 formation.

Although Odegaard played well in the first half, the former Real Madrid player did not have the best of times in the second period.

It was not one of the best days for the Norway international playmaker.
