Arsenal threw away two leads in the North London derby against Spurs in an entertaining but ultimately frustrating encounter at the Emirates on Sunday afternoon.
Cristian Romero's own goal gave Arsenal the lead but Heung-Min Son equalised 180 seconds before half time.
Bukayo Saka's penalty put the Gunners ahead again after the interval but Jorginho's mistake handed Son an equaliser to make the final score on a breathless encounter 2-2.

GK: David Raya - 6.5/10 - Excellent reactions and footwork to keep out Johnson in one of the saves of the season so far, but could the Brentford loanee have done more to prevent the first equaliser moments later, after Arsenal failed to clear their lines
RB: Ben White - 6/10 - Won penalty after Romero handled his close range shot
CB: William Saliba - 7/10 - A superb player with excellent anticipation
CB: Gabriel Magalhaes - 6/10 - A solid performance but will be frustrated with the way both goals were conceded
LB: Oleksandr Zinchenko - 6/10 - Kulusevski never let the Gunners Ukrainian settle but always excellent with possession
CM: Martin Odegaard - 6.5/10 - An emphasis on hard work covering in the middle where Spurs based most their their attempts to break through, rather than flair was the order of the day for the Gunners captain who recently signed a deserved new deal
CM: Declan Rice - 5.5/10 - Arteta hooked the former West Ham midfielder at half time after picking up an injury
CM: Fabio Vieira - 5/10 - Not his most effective game after encrouaging performances over the last few weeks
RW: Bukayo Saka - 7.5/10 - Always lively, always influential. Forced an own goal and finished his spot kick with aplomb
ST: Eddie Nketiah - 5/10 - Anonymous
LW: Gabriel Jesus - 6/10 - Worked hard defensively and put in a shift
Substitutes
Jorginho (46' for Rice) - 4/10 - Lost the ball to Maddison who sent Son free to make it 2-2
Kai Havertz (46' for Vieira) - 5/10 - Underwhelming
Reiss Nelson (77' for Jesus) - 6/10
Emile Smith Rowe (90' for Saka) - N/A - Came on in the 96th minute
Subs not used: Mohamed Elneny, Cedric Soares, Jakub Kiwior, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Aaron Ramsdale
