Arsenal's defender Jurrien Timber was on the verge of receiving a red card for a rash tackle but was saved by the fact he made contact with the ball.
Gary Neville highlighted that VAR reviewed the tackle closely and concluded Timber's foot on the ball prevented a red card being issued, a critical moment in the derby.
Timber's performance and the potential for a second booking emphasize the need for caution among Arsenal defenders, especially in high-stakes matches against rivals like Tottenham.
Coach Mikel Arteta will likely focus on maintaining discipline in the second half, as any red card could shift the game's momentum and jeopardize their chances for victory.
