Fans online have asked if ‘this is allowed’ just seconds after Tottenham’s crucial Premier League clash with Arsenal
Arsenal travel to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a bid to increase their lead in the standings
Even though they are the away team, the Gunners still wear the traditional red shirt at home
But Mikel Arteta’s team wore white shorts like the hosts
Both teams wearing white shorts were spotted on social media by netizens questioning the shorts clash
User X wrote: “They’re both wearing white shorts here
Is that allowed
” A second person tweeted: “Why were Arsenal allowed to wear white shorts against Spurs, who wore all white
I thought there was a rule that the colors had to be different
” A third added: “How are Arsenal allowed to wear white shorts
” A fourth person asked: “Why do they wear the home shirt with contrasting white shorts
” Another person commented: “How can Arsenal and Tottenham both wear white shorts
Isn’t it normal for them to change teams
” In the reverse fixture at the Emirates last September, Spurs wore blue shorts and blue socks while Arsenal wore white shorts

Fans spotted Ben White’s ‘genius’ tactics just before Arsenal scored their first and third goals against Tottenham
The Gunners lead 3-0 at half-time in the north London derby, mainly thanks to corner kicks
Bukayo Saka’s corner was accidentally headed in by Spurs midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to give Arsenal an early lead, before Kai Havertz’s close-range header made it 3-0 just before the break
Between these goals, Saka found space and was punctured by his opponent before firing a shot past Guglielmo Vicario
But although Arsenal’s set-piece ability has been on display throughout the season, fans still recognize what White has done could give them an extra advantage at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

s=46 White quickly grabbed Vicario’s gloves for the first goal – not hard enough to cause a foul, but enough to defend Italian goal of turning and scoring looking at your opponent
His actions for the third goal were a bit more controversial, as he leaned over the Spurs goalkeeper before Havertz headed the ball into the net
Therefore, fans believe that White could play a role in both corners
Speaking on Sky Sports at half-time, Roy Keane criticized Spurs for their problems with set-pieces: “Arsenal were excellent
” Spurs dominated possession but Arsenal controlled the game match, with the importance of set pieces and attacking counter-attacks for the second goal
“Spurs didn’t show enough character, especially in the first 15 or 20 minutes when they were in a good position
“Defensively, in set pieces and goalkeeper situations, he has to do better, especially on their counter-attacks six yards” Arsenal’s victory would extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to four points over second-placed Manchester City, although they Pep Guardiola’s football team has two games in hand and will face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground later on Sunday
