Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte had a real go at Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta folꦦlowing the North London Derby on Thursday, and talkSPORT pundit ⛎Simon Jordan has now hit back.

Spurs sta🦩rted the game slowly, but a silly foul by Cedriౠc Soares on Son Heung-min gave them a penalty, and Harry Kane made no mistake from the spot. Rob Holding then got sent off, and things become comfortable for Tottenham from that point.

After the game, Arteta was visibly furious. He refused to co🌠mment on the refereeing de♌cisions, claiming that if he said what he really thought, he’d be .

Simon Jordan hits back at Antಌonio Conte’s comments on Mikel Arteta

Speaking on yesterday, as quoted by , Simon Jordan said about Antonio Conte: “I don’t know how he has the audacity to comment o♚n the fact Arteta moans and groans about things, all of them do the same 🎃thing.

“I don’t think Mikel Arteta was asking for advice on his coaching from Antonio Co♌nte.

“And, maybe, Antonio Conte could take some adv꧂ice about acting like a mature individual when༒ things aren’t going his way. He had a temperamental hissy fit two or three months ago, ‘I don’t think I’m good enough’.

“The bottom line is I don’t know why Antonio Conte needs to dispense his particular brand of wisdom to Mikel Arte💟ta. I’m sure it’s because it was a leading question, but notwithstanding it, you don’t have to answer the question by being slightly condescending and patronising about the nature of the person’s experience in the profession.”

Arsenal still lead Tottenham in top-four race

Arsenal’s defeat against Tottenham on Thursday has been viewed by many as a massive boost 🦩to Spurs in the top-four race, but it’s still very much in the Gunners’ hands.

All Artet🌟a’s men have to do is match Tottenham’s results in the next two games. If they do that, they’ll be back in the Champions League next season, which would be a remarkable achievement considering where they were after the first three fixtures of the season.

Tottenham’s remaining games, howevꩲer, look a lot easier on paper compared to Arsenal. Conte’s men face 17th-place Burnley before heading to Carrow Road on the final day to take on Norwich City, who are already relegated.

Arsenal, on the other hand, face a rejuvenated Newcastl𓆉e United at St. James’ Pꦉark, before hosting Frank Lampard’s Everton on the final day of the season.
