BUKAYO SAKA had a brilliant response to Tottenham fans’ embarrassing chant in the North London derby.
The Arsenal star gave an instant reply after being targeting by a group of Spurs supporters.

Kai Havertz also taunted the home fans after making it 3-0 before half-time.
The German held his finger to his lips as he celebrated heading in a third goal.
Despite a late Tottenham fight back, Arsenal held on to win 3-2 at the home of their bitter local rivals.
The result leaves Mikel Arteta’s side a point clear of Manchester City at the top of the table.
However, City still have a game in hand following their win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
As for Saka, he has now scored 15 league goals this season alongside nine assists.
His tally this term is his best in the top flight, with Saka’s latest strike taking him past last season’s total with three matches remaining.
