Declan Rice appeared to turn around and taunt the Tottenham fans after Arsenal scored from his corner.
The Gunners midfielder received plenty of stick from his rivals' fans as he prepared to take the set piece, with a section of supporters seen shouting at him.
He quickly made them regret it, though.
Rice's corner ended up meeting Kai Havertz, who rose the highest to head past Guglielmo Vicario to make it 3-0 with 10 minutes still to go to half-time.
As the ball hit the back of the net, Rice quickly faced the disgruntled home fans who had been shouting at him as he celebrated.
Rice has cemented himself as a Gunners fan favourite since signing from West Ham last summer for £105million including add-ons.

First, his corner forced his fierce rivals to concede an owl goal, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg sending the ball into his own net.
Saka then got himself on the scoresheet to double his side's lead.
