LONDON (Reuters) - Leaving his skipper and most influential player out of the north London derby for disciplinary reasons could have backfired on Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta but the Spaniard's decision paid off as his side beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 on Sunday.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was pencilled in to start the Premier League game but a late change saw the forward left on the bench with Arteta declining to elaborate on exact reasons, other than saying a line had been drawn and they had moved on.
