'Ben White is a thinking man’s s***house' - Arsenal legend Ian Wright praises defender for North London derby antics with Tottenham stopper Vicario

The former Gunners star has heaped praise on Ben White after the defender was spotted pinching Vicario's sleeve at a corner just before Arsenal opened the scoring against Tottenham on Sunday in the Premier League. Wright claimed that the English defender's antics on the pitch paid off as the Spurs goalkeeper became distracted which led to Spurs conceding.

Speaking on the Wrighty's House podcast, the ex-Gunners player said, "Ben White’s s***housery was beautiful. He’s the thinking man’s s***house, that’s the best way I can put it. The way Vicario got upset was f*****g brilliant, he went straight to 100 and all he did was try to undo his gloves. Vicarious was so f*****g angry!

"Ben White is a thinking man’s s***house. There are three games left now so everyone should know Ben White is going to go on the opposition goalkeeper and f**k around with him. For Tottenham to concede two goals with no one marking our s***house is poor, it’s poor. It’s poor from Tottenham and that definitely cost them."

Ange Postecoglou's side were dealt a major blow in the top-four race after they went down 3-2 against their rivals in the North London derby. They conceded three goals within the first 40 minutes of the game before Cristian Romero and Heung-min Son scored a goal each in the second half to restore some pride.

Mikel Arteta's side will next take on Bournemouth in a must-win Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
