ARSENAL managed to stir up a storm of criticism at the weekend but off the pitch after their victory in the north London derby.

At the centre of it all is Daily Mail sports journalist Adam Crafton, who had written an article before the match in which he picked a combined Arsenal-Tottenham starting XI consisting entirely of Spurs players.

Having won, the official Arsenal account on Twitter replied to Crafton’s link to his article with a wink and an animated image of striker Mesut Ozil sipping tea.
