Arsenal's victory over Tottenham was overshadowed by a deeply worrying incident in the dying minutes of the match.

Details: Gunners' star Bukayo Saka was unable to finish the game due to an injury, causing major concern for the coaching staff.

The incident occurred right at the end of regular time. Saka went down on the turf, clearly in severe pain. Arsenal's medical team had to rush onto the pitch to provide urgent assistance. Judging by the reaction of both the player and the medics, the situation appeared quite serious.

Because of their talisman's injury, Mikel Arteta was forced into a late substitution in stoppage time. In the 90+1st minute, Noni Madueke came on to replace the injured Bukayo Saka.

It's worth noting that after this, Arsenal managed to score another goal. As a result, the Gunners sealed a 4-1 victory, once again pulling five points clear of Manchester City.

Reminder: Randal Kolo Muani could have scored a brace against Arsenal, but his goal was disallowed for a push on the defender.
