Bukayo Saka and Heung-Min Son starred as Arsenal and Tottenham could not be separated in a pulsating, topsy-turvy North London derby which ended in a 2-2 draw.
Match Report
A thriller began with Cristian Romero heading Saka's shot into his osn net as Arsenal controlled the opening exchanges, but Spurs found a way back in with Son's leveller three minutes before half-time after a superb save from David Raya denied Brennan Johnson.
Romero's poor afternoon continued after half-time as his handball from Ben White's goal-bound shot allowed Saka to re-stablish the Gunners lead from the spot, but Spurs got an instant equaliser.
Jorginho, a half-time injury substitute for Declan Rice, dallied on the ball only for James Maddison to pinch his pocket. The midfielder rolled the ball to Son for a simple finish past Raya.
Kai Havertz and Saka went close to an Arsenal winner late on, while substitute Richarlison saw a deflected effort fall just wide in the 10th minute of stoppage time.
The derby draw leaves both sides four points behind Manchester City after six games, doing their early title credentials no favours.

All I see is negative comments, it's good the winning mentality is coming back to Arsenal. But picking up a point from this game at this stage is good, both teams are in form. There's still a lot more games to go. So Arsenal fans stop complaining and saying unreasonable things of the coach and team, and support your club as a true fan. up gunners❤️🔥✌🏾
