Ben White snapped shouting at Ryan Sessegnon so he'd mess up a shot during North London derby

Ben White dissuaded Ryan Sessegnon from shooting during Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, demonstrating his mastery of the dark arts.

The Gunners won and moved eight points clear atop the Premier League thanks to an own goal by Hugo Lloris and a long-range shot from skipper Martin Odegaard.

At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Arsenal played coolly, not letting the occasion or the hostile fans affect them.

After Manchester City lost 2-1 to Manchester United on Saturday, Mikel Arteta's team realized they had work to do.

Sessegnon made a break down the left and entered the Arsenal box. White realized that Gabriel and he had lost the race for speed.

Ben White shouted as loudly as he could to distract his rival at a crucial time.

Fortunately for Arsenal, a brilliant Aaron Ramsdale descended low and deflected Sessegnon's wayward effort with his foot.

Arsenal got off to a strong start and had their reward after 14 minutes thanks to some excellent work from Bukayo Saka. Sessegnon deflected his cross, which Lloris then sent into his own net.

Odegaard netted his eighth goal of the year from a distance to give the away team a commanding lead after Thomas Partey's wicked volley off the post.

Ramsdale made stops from Harry Kane and Richarlison to put Antonio Conte's team at bay so Spurs couldn't get back into the game.
