Piers Morgan had some fun at the expense of Jamie O’Hara after Arsenal‘s storming start in the North London Derby. Morgan, a passionate Arsenal supporter, was elated as Mikel Arteta’s side secured a 3-0 lead in the first half against Tottenham on Sunday.
Spurs midfielder, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, opened the scoring for the Gunners with an own goal. Goals from Saka and Havertz not long after, made it 3-0 in the first half itself.
Morgan didn’t miss the opportunity to flex his bragging rights as an Arsenal fan on social media during the game. O’Hara, a former Spurs player, was the intended target after posting: “Up the Spurs, the derail Arsenal trophy is up for grabs today, let’s have it,” earlier in the afternoon. Morgan humorously shot back, “Hi Jamie – hope you’re having a good day.”

The former midfielder, who was covering the game for Sky Sports News, was pushed into a corner by his prior tweet after Arsenal’s third goal. He even admitted the game was all but over for Tottenham. He stated: “I said the next goal is the one. You ain’t coming back against Arsenal from three goals [down].
Arsenal were excellent with their set pieces
O’Hara added on Spurs in the North London Derby: “Shocking defensively. They’ve figured us out; teams have sussed us out all season. Set-pieces were a disgrace and this set-piece coach [Nicolas Jover] standing on the sideline like he’s Pep Guardiola.”
Even Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville, singled out Jover for praise during his commentary on the match. He branded the former Manchester City coach a “little nuisance” after Arsenal’s opener before lauding him again after Havertz’s goal.
