Ben White may have been ignored by Gareth Southgate in England's most recent squad, but the defender continued his impressive start to the season with his performance against Tottenham. White has been operating in an unfamiliar role all season at Arsenal, but he is yet to let Mikel Arteta down while playing at right-back.
While Arsenal fans will have loved the 24-year-old's display against Spurs, it was something he did off the pitch that will make him an even more popular figure among the Gunners supporters. White was substituted in the 89th minute for Takehiro Tomiyasu with Arsenal leading 3-1 thanks to goals from Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka.
Looking to frustrate the 10-men of Tottenham after Emerson Royal was sent off for a reckless lunge after 62 minutes, Arsenal were quite happy to let the clock run down, but referee Anthony Taylor forced White to leave the field at the nearest exit, as he slowly walked across the pitch looking to kill time.
