Tottenham Hotspur defender Kieran Trippier helped Mauricio Pochettino’s side to a 2-0 win at the Emirates Stadium last night.

Jamie Redknapp has told Sky Sports, during their live coverage of Tottenham Hotspur’s match with Arsenal, that he felt Kieran Trippier really struggled.

Trippier was selected to start at right-back by Mauricio Pochettino, with the Tottenham defender only recently coming back from injury.

And Redknapp felt that Arsenal had a lot of success down Spurs’ right hand side, as Alex Iwobi was giving Trippier a torrid time.

The pundit said: “When someone [Iwobi] is having so much success, keep giving it to him. Tripper has really struggled against his pace and power.”

Iwobi was actually taken off in the second half, as Arsenal tried to get back into the game against Tottenham.

Spurs had taken the lead when Heung-Min Son broke clear of the Arsenal defence and finished well beyond Petr Cech.

But Unai Emery’s changes did not have the same impact as in the previous North London derby, as Spurs went on to net a second.

Dele Alli raced on to a through ball and chipped Cech to put Tottenham into an unassailable lead.

Tottenham are now into the League Cup semi-final and will take on Chelsea in the next round.
