Tottenham 3-0 Arsenal: I cannot give my opinion because I would be suspended, says Arteta

A beautiful game was destroyed as a result of the north London derby defeat by Spurs.

With two games left, Spurs are within a point of their rivals.

Rob Holding was sent off for sending off Spurs opener from the penalty spot.

Arteta said if he said what he thought was suspension for six months, he would be suspended.

I don't know how to lie so I don't want to say what I think. I can't say what I think.

I am happy with my players. I am proud of my players. The referee should come in front of the camera and explain his decisions. It was a shame that the game was destroyed.

The decision was made. We can not change it. The referee has to make a decision.

Antonio Conte didn't hold back on his opposite number, even though he declined to add his opinion on the decisions.

The Italian said that Arteta had to focus more on his team. He needs to focus more on his work.

He has to keep working because he is a very good coach. It's not good to hear someone complain all the time.

Do you hear me complain about Fabinho and all the fouls? No. If he wants to, he can take my advice, but I don't care.

I listen and he complains a lot. I think he needs to be more focused on his team and not complain because he has just started. He needs to be calm and keep working. A lot of the time is not good to listen to a coach complain.

'Everything is open' in top-four battle

Premier League top four

Harry Kane converted the early penalty before heading in a second at the Spurs. In the second half, Son Heung-min made it three.

The race for the top four is still wide open even though a win would have solidified their place.

With five points between them and Spurs, it is almost certain that the third place team will finish in the top four.

On Sunday, Spurs play host to bottom-of-the-table Burnley before they play host to bottom-of-the-table Norwich on May 22.

It is more difficult on paper for the north London club to get a result at home to Everton in order to stay in the top flight.

We have two games left. "All is open", said Spurs boss Conte.

The confidence comes from the work we are doing. The importance of the game to our fans has to give us confidence to win it.

When you win the confidence increases but you have to not get carried away. The danger is this. I will push my players in the right way and keep the situation under control.

'Tottenham have the momentum'

Tottenham 3-0 Arsenal: Antonio Conte 'very happy' as Spurs 'continue to stay in the race'

Since the last season of the elite club competition in the summer of the year of the previous year, both Spurs and Arsenal have not played in the competition.

The importance of securing a place in the playoffs next season has increased the pressure on both sides, according to Jamie Redknapp.

He said on Sky Sports that it was a game-changer for the two clubs.

They are a year ahead of where they think they should be. No one expected this. The manager needs to stay and the players need to come. It was a big game because of this.

They know what they have to do, but Spurs have a better schedule.

Matthew Upson is a former defender for the Gunners.

He told Radio 5 Live that Spurs' confidence is sky high.

At this moment in time, they are at a low. It is difficult to go to the best of times in Newcastle.

At this moment in time, Spurs look good. They are chasing a team. They will have to win both of their games. They will win.

The momentum has shifted the way that Spurs are going.

Son will be flying, one goal behind. Spurs will be flying and they have a lot of injuries.
