Arsenal scored a controversial equaliser against Tottenham in the north London derby - with Dominic Solanke's own goal coming from a refereeing error.
The Gunners staged a comeback in the game after falling behind to Son Heung-min's opener, with Gabriel first heading Declan Rice's corner into Solanke, with the ball deflected into the back of the net.
Arsenal had started the better team, but went behind when Son's volley deflected off William Saliba and beat David Raya to shock the Emirates.
But the ground was on its feet when Rice swung in a corner to the back post, with Spurs goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky blocked by a crowd of players and unable to get to the ball.
That resulted in Gabriel beating Radu Dragusin to the cross at the back post, and he headed the ball against Solanke before the ball ended up in the back of the net.
Replays, however, showed the incorrect call was made leading up to the goal - with the corner incorrectly awarded instead of a goal kick.
But replays, however, showed that the corner should not have been awarded in the first place. Leandro Trossard's cross was blocked by Pedro Porro, and the ball rebounded off the Belgian before going out of play. A corner, however, was awarded.
Porro was frustrated at the time, and Spurs players surrounded referee Simon Hooper when the whistle was blown for half time.
Arsenal have been a major threat from corner kicks and set pieces this season, with the Gunners now in double figures for corner goals thanks to the work of set piece coach Nicolas Jover.
Martin Keown said of the goal on TNT Sports: 'It was a corner because the referee gave it so let’s just go with that.
'No. he is very lucky. But it is brought about by all the attacks Arsenal are having, putting the pressure on, Dragusin should not get beat by Gabriel, there is no excuse for that.
Peter Crouch added: 'Declan Rice’s cross is so good. But Dragusin should do better. You know where it is going and Dragusin has to be stronger.'

sometimes you work hard but you get nothing, and when you are not expecting, then you get surprised.they don't have chance to score goals for so many chances created,and they got it another way.that is football.
