Former Arsenal defender Tony Adams slams Hector Bellerin's performance in Sunday's defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby.

Arsenal legend Tony Adams has delivered a scathing assessment of Hector Bellerin's performance in the Gunners' North London derby defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Bellerin came under criticism for his defending in both of Spurs' goals at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and the right-back was also penalised for a foul throw in that 2-0 loss.

The Spaniard boasts three assists for Arsenal in the Premier League this term, but Adams has urged him to focus on his defensive side of the game first and foremost.

Speaking to Premier League Productions, Adams said: "You've got Cedric [Soares] in from Southampton, what's that recruitment going on?

"You need someone who is better than Hector. Or if you think that Hector is, then work with him. Don't get him on the right wing. Say, 'Sit there morning and afternoon' with the kid and make him a full-back.

"He's no better or no worse than Lee Dixon when he came to the club, Hector Bellerin. We had little Lee Dixon, he was up that right wing playing like a right winger.

"I went, 'Oi Dicko, come here. Sit here, learn your job. First and foremost, stop that ball going in that back of the net'.

"Where was Hector when the first goal went in? He was up the pitch! Do your job first. Learn how to be a good defender, keep clean sheets and take it from there."

Arsenal's defeat to their bitter rivals leaves them 15th in the Premier League table after 11 matches.
