ARSENAL legend Tony Adams urged Hector Bellerin to ‘learn your job’ after the Gunners’ 2-0 defeat at Tottenham on Sunday.
Iconic former centre-back Adams was frustrated by the Spaniard’s positioning in the build up to Heung-min Son’s opening goal and called on Arssenal’s staff to work with the right-back on his defending.

It also emerged after the game Bellerin has committed FIVE foul throws this season which is almost a third of the Premier League’s total.
Speaking to Premier League Productions, Adams, 54, said: “You’ve got Cedric in from Southampton, what’s that recruitment going on?
“You need someone who is better than Hector. Or if you think that Hector is OK, then work with him.
“Don’t get him on the right wing. 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. We had little Lee Dixon, he was up that right wing playing like a right winger.
“And 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.”
Son opened the scoring on 13 minutes with a wonder strike from distance at Tottenham on Sunday.
And Harry Kane doubled the lead on the stroke of half time.
Arsenal looked a little more dangerous in the second-half with several crosses into the box.
But Gooners’ misery was compounded in the first 45 when Thomas Partey limped off injured.
Earlier today, SunSport columnist Troy Deeney told TalkSPORT he thinks Mikel Arteta could be sacked if the Gunners don’t win against Burnley on Sunday.
