Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta hailed the performance of 18-year-old debutant Reiss Nelson in the North London derby. Nelson, who came on as a substitute in the 3-1 victory over Tottenham , provided the assist for Leandro Trossard's winning goal. Arteta praised Nelson's composure and attitude, stating that it was 'very rare to see an 18-year-old against Kulusevski and Johnson in a big London derby for the first time, perform with that composure, with that attitude, and that emotional control'.
Nelson, a product of Arsenal's Hale End academy, expressed his delight at making his debut in such a high-pressure game, saying, 'The match was amazing, and everything that lived up to my dreams. I couldn’t believe it. I just had to take in every moment and every second. Honestly, it was amazing, and it is moments like this that we live for.' Arsenal's victory moved them five points clear at the top of the Premier League table, while Tottenham's fourth defeat in five league games leaves them in 13th place, just eight points clear of the relegation zone. Tottenham striker Son Heung-min admitted his disappointment after the match, saying, 'It is very disappointing because this game means a lot to the club and fans. Conceding goals like this is more painful and we were way too passive in the first half. We were not disciplined enough and we have to do better in every aspect. When you look at the table, it is not good enough.'Meanwhile, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has extended the contract of Reiss Nelson, rewarding the young winger for his impressive performances. The new deal will keep Nelson at the Emirates Stadium until 2024, with the option for a further year. Nelson has made a breakthrough into the first team this season, scoring three goals in 12 appearances. His performance against Tottenham was a testament to his talent and potential. Arteta is confident that Nelson has a bright future at Arsenal and is delighted to have secured his services for the long term
