Arsenal vs Tottenham Review

A poor penalty by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was saved in the last minute as Arsenal threw away a chance to win and close the gap to just one point in the race for top four, against their bitter rivals, in a 1-1 against Tottenham at Wembley.

Welsh playmaker Aaron Ramsey, playing in his final north London derby before leaving to join Juventus in the summer, coolly finished on a divisive counter-attack after 16 minutes to put the Gunners ahead.

Spurs levelled from the penalty spot in the 74th minute through Harry Kane after he had been pushed over by make-shift right back Shkodran Mustafi.

Arsenal might have been hurt by the decision as Kane was offside before he was fouled, but they spurned the chance to snatch victory when Lloris saved Aubameyang's penalty in the 89th minute and Jan Vertonghen blocked the follow-up shot on the line. Arsenal have the right to feel even more aggrieved as defender Vertonghen was well inside the area before Aubameyang struck the penalty.

Things went bad to worse for Arsenal, as midfielder Lucas Torreira was then shown a straight red card in injury-time for a foul on Danny Rose.

The result keeps Tottenham's four-point advantage over Arsenal in the Premier League, but Manchester United moved above Arsenal into fourth with victory over Southampton, while Chelsea’s win over Fulham has put the pressure on the Gunners, with Chelsea having a game in hand over the North London team, it would look as if Arsenal will soon be occupying sixth spot.
