Antonio Conte has revealed that Djed Spence hasn't shown enough to start for Tottenham Hotspur after Emerson Royal was sent off in the north London derby.
The Brazilian was shown a straight red card in the 62nd minute for a late tackle on Gabriel Martinelli and it ended up costing Spurs as they suffered their first Premier League defeat of the season. Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka scored for Arsenal as they ran out 3-1 winners at the Emirates Stadium.
Some Tottenham fans have blasted Conte's decision to keep persisting with Royal given his form this season, with Matt Doherty and Spence waiting in the wings. Royal has started at right wing-back in all but one of Spurs' eight Premier League games so far this season.
