Arsenal and Tottenham shared the points in a dramatic 2-2 draw at The Emirates Stadium.

Unai Emery started Nicolas Pepe, Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for the first time, but it was defensive errors that cost the Gunners dearly.

Despite early Arsenal pressure, Sp*rs took a two goal lead and appeared to be in complete control.

Christian Eriksen pounced to put them ahead in the 10th minute after Arsenal keeper Bernd Leno pushed out Erik Lamela’s shot.

Then a inexplicable rash challenge from Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka brought down Heung-Min Son to allow Harry Kane to score his 10th goal in 11 derby games.

At 2-0 down it looked bleak for Arsenal who had suffered just one Premier League defeat to Tottenham at The Emirates.

Lacazette pulled one back on the stroke of half-time before they laid siege to Spurs’ goal after the break.

And in the 71st minute, Matteo Guendouzi inch-perfect ball was met by Aubameyang who turned in the equaliser.

Arsenal have moved into fifth in the league. Tottenham are ninth.
