Timo Werner was forced off after just 31 minutes of the North London derby in a major Tottenham injury.

Tottenham suffered an injury to Timo Werner just half an hour into their north London derby against Arsenal.

The GermanOn loan from RB Leipzig, he started in attack for the clash, but had to be substituted early.

Werner appeared to have a muscle problem and had to make way, his replacement being Brennan Johnson.

It was the 28-year-old's tenth Premier League start for the club and Ange Postecoglou was confident in his quality.

But it now remains to be seen if Werner will be without Werner in the final weeks of the season due to his injury.

This is how he summed up a torrid first part for Spurs who fell behind after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg headed into his own goal after a corner kick.

The hosts thought they had equalized thanks to Micky van de Ven, but the defender was called for offside and the goal was disallowed.

Bukayo Saka doubled Arsenal's lead before Kai Havertz added the third as half-time approached.

Spurs dominated the first half in terms of possession, but it was the Gunners who took advantage of their opportunities to take the lead.

Saka and Havertz had no qualms about delighting in their success in front of the home fans: the former covered his ears and the latter made a gesture of silence.
