SON SHINES AS SPURS HOLD ARSENAL IN THRILLING NORTH LONDON DERBY
Son Heung-min scored twice as Tottenham rallied from two goals down to hold Arsenal to a tense 2-2 draw on Sunday in the north London derby.
Ange Postecoglouās side trailed to Cristian Romeroās first half own goal before South Korea forward Son hauled them level at the Emirates Stadium.
Bukayo Saka restored Arsenalās lead with a second half penalty, but Son had the last word with his second goal as these bitter rivals both extended their unbeaten starts to the Premier League season.
Tottenham sit in fourth place, above fifth placed Arsenal on goal difference, after a hard-fought clash offered more evidence that Postecoglou has revived a club in turmoil when he arrived from Celtic in the close-season.
Although Tottenham have now won just one of their last 31 league trips to Arsenal and remain without a victory on enemy territory since 2010, there was much to admire from Postecoglouās team.
Not only did they show impressive character to twice hit back from Arsenalās goals, but they did it with the kind of eye-catching play that was so rarely seen during Antonio Conteās reign.
Tottenham have scored at least twice in all six league games under Postecoglou despite the close-season departure of the clubās record goalscorer Harry Kane to Bayern Munich.
For Arsenal, it was a frustrating afternoon as they lost ground on leaders Manchester City, who stand four points above them in the title race.
