Arsenal left it late to claim a point in the North London derby, with Kieran Gibbs turning home a Mesut Özil delivery to cancel out Harry Kane’s opener.
Despite the game being very open in the early stages, neither team could find a breakthrough in the first half-hour.

But then Harry Kane, who scored twice the last time these teams met in the league, found space to slot the opener past Petr Čech to give the visitors a half-time lead.
HERE I AM! ROCK YOU LIKE A HARRY KANE!

Arsenal won 2-1 when the sides met in the League Cup, with Mathieu Flamini the unlikely hero, and the Frenchman was introduced again as Arsene Wenger looked for a way back into the game.
Mathieu 'the Spud killer' Flamini is readying to enter the fray. Fasten your seatbelt.

Olivier Giroud could, and probably should have levelled. First he headed against the bar from close range, and moments later he planted a free header wide of the post.

Form is temporary, Giroud's lack of sufficient class for title-challenging side is permanent.

Arsenal needed their goalkeeper to come to the rescue when Toby Alderweireld got free in the box, but Čech was up to the task.
It looked for Alderweireld that Spurs would go 2-0 up there

Wenger threw the dice, bringing on Kieran Gibbs, and fans weren’t convinced.
WHY IS CAMPBELL BEING SUBBED FOR GIBBS

But the left-back-turned-winger found an unlikely equaliser.
YO VENGA KNEW

Gibbs for Campbell was our attacking substitution, delighted with a point

Also that Gibbs goal might be the funniest ever scored by Arsenal Football Club in its 100+ year history.

Neither team could find a winner, though, so Arsenal stay five points ahead of their rivals.

We've reached a point where Spurs go to the Emirates with the youngest team in the league & are disappointed with how they played in a draw
