The first half of the crucial North London Derby at White Hart Lane was a tale of two flicks.
More specifically, two Aaron Ramsey flicks.
The Welshman broke up an Arsenal counter attack with an early backheel, giving opponents Tottenham a sight of goal.
But then, towards the end of the half, Ramsey adjusted his body brilliantly to flick Hector Bellerin’s low ball into the top corner of the Spurs net.
We went from this
Arsenal have given ball away via indulgent flicks three times in first 11mins -2x Ramsey 1x Ozil – does not augur well

And from this
Arsene, be a fucking real manager and take Ramsey off before he actually does give them a goal like.

Though maybe this was a more fair assessment
8 yrs of Ramsey flicks pay off.
