'Questions for Conte' - How the national media reacted to Tottenham's derby defeat at Arsenal

Tottenham suffered their first Premier League defeat of the season at the hands of rivals Arsenal on Saturday. Ten-man Spurs were comfortably dispatched 3-1 by Mikel Arteta's side in the first North London Derby of the 2022/23 campaign.

Spurs saw their bitter rivals open up a four-point gap at the top of the Premier League table. The Lilywhites went into the half-time interval level after Harry Kane converted a penalty to cancel out Thomas Partey's early goal, but Arsenal ran out comfortable winners in the second half.

Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka were Arsenal's scorers after the break, and Emerson Royal was sent off in between those two goals for a reckless challenge to compile Spurs' misery. There have been plenty of question marks over Conte's tactical approach as the national media have reacted to Tottenham's derby day defeat.
