  • That's all from the Emirates

    Two clubs full of renewed hope. Two clubs full of attacking endeavour. Two clubs unbeaten in the Premier League. Two clubs separated by just four miles. Something had to give.

    But in the end, nothing did.

    A 2-2 draw between Arsenal and Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium was a fitting conclusion to a pulsating clash and indicative of the seasons the pair are having.

    So the North London rivals are both undefeated after six Premier League matches for the first time in 19 years. Can they both extend it to seven games next weekend? Join us then to find out.

    Thanks for being with us this afternoon, and goodbye.

  • Postecoglou confused by handball ruling

    Once again, Big Ange has spoken for all of us.

    The Tottenham boss admitted after today's North London derby that he is no longer sure what is and isn't handball.

    The Australian coach watched on as Cristiano Romero was penalised early in the second half after Ben White's shot bounced up and struck the Argentine's arm at close range.

    It seems like sometimes it hits your hand and it's a penalty and then other times it's not. It is what it is, and you hope these things even themselves out. Any clarity would be great. I have no idea what a handball is now.

  • Hot Spurs show fighting spirit

    Tottenham fought back twice to earn a point at Emirates, a resilient characteristic that is becoming the norm under Ange Postecoglou.

    Spurs have now earned eight points from losing positions in the Premier League this season, the second-most of any side afrer Liverpool (9).

    The Londoners have come back from behind in their last three matches as well as on the opening weekend at Brentford.

  • Arteta issues Rice update

    Speaking to the press after this afternoon's North London derby, Mikel Arteta has explained his reasoning for making a double change at half-time that saw Declan Rice and Fabio Vieira replaced by Jorginho and Kai Havertz.

    [Declan] Rice was substituted due to a back injury, but [Fabio] Vieira was a tactical switch. We hope that Rice's injury is not a long-term issue. It’s strange that a player like him has to come off so we’ll see.

  • More Rom Com from Cristian

    Undoubtedly a brilliant player for the most part, Cristian Romero remains prone to slapstick.

    During the frenzy of the North London derby, the Argentine became the 11th player in Premier League history to score an own goal and give away a penalty in the same game.

    Romero is the first Spurs player to hit those infamous heights, but can at least be grateful that he didn't add a red card to the record, just his customary yellow.

  • James still Madd for it

    With two assists in this North London derby, James Maddison leads the Premier League rankings with four for the season.

    The playmaker has now been directly involved in 21 goals in his last 22 away games in the Premier League, returning 10 goals and 11 assists.

    His six goal involvements on the road this season (two goals and four assists) is also the most of any player in the division.

  • Match stats from the Emirates

    Arsenal and Tottenham both remain unbeaten at least six games into a top-flight campaign for only the second time in the Premier League era. The last time came in 2004-05.

  • Full time - Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

    A pulsating contest comes to a close.

    Arsenal twice had their noses in front in the North London derby, but Cristiano Romero's own-goal and Bukayo Saka's penalty were cancelled out by equalisers from Tottenham captain Son Heung-min; the second strike from the South Korean came just 98 seconds after the spotkick.

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

    90+10. As the clock strikes 100 minutes, Richarlison's snapshot is deflected wide for a corner.

    The Emirates holds its breath.

    The set-piece is swung out from the right and met by the head of...

    ...Gabriel, who powers it to safety.

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

    90+8. Romero bodychecks Nketiah, and Arsenal have a late free-kick midway inside the Tottenham half.

    They play it short because of course they do, and the momentum quickly evaporates.

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham - Arsenal substitution

    90+6. Emile Smith Rowe is going to get a run out, on for Bukayo Saka.

    Can the young midfielder make a heroic contribution at the death?

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

    90+4. Despite the game being deep into injury time, Alan Smith is using this time to bemoan Arsenal's lack of a goalscorer.

    That should tell you all you need to know about their attacking endeavours.

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

    90+2. Gabriel is denied a clear header from the corner by the presence of Udogie and Bissouma.

    However, replays show that the ball brushed off the outstretched arm of the Italian defender.

    There are no appeals from the Arsenal players, but Gary Neville is bemused: "For me, that's more of a penalty than the Romero one."

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

    90+1. A Saka shot from outside the box whistles past Vicario's right-hand post.

    The goalkeeper, in fact, got a touch to the ball so it will be another corner to the Gunners.

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

    90. The board goes up and there will be TEN minutes of stoppage time to be played.

    It's news that brings roars from both sets of fans. Both still believe they can win this.

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

    89. Udogie pulls down Saka, landing on his opponent in the process.

    Saka is moving gingerly as a result, and the Tottenham defender breathes a sigh of relief after remembering that he is already on a booking.

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

    87. It's Arsenal finishing the stronger now, forcing a barrage of corners.

    The latest from the left prompts Romero in to miscuing a header backwards, but the defender is helped out by a brilliant recovery by Bissouma.

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

    85. Saka curls it wickedly towards the near post from where it is flicked on and races across goal.

    Begging to be converted at the far post, Nketiah doesn't gamble on the ball dropping and misses out on an opportunity to make himself a hero.

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

    84. Reiss Nelson, on as a sub for Gabriel Jesus a few minutes ago, comes in from the left side and unleashes a rocket.

    It loops up off a defender and goes behind for a corner.

    Now the Arsenal fans are interested.

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

    82. Arsenal have just had two attempts on goal in this second half, the last of which was the penalty converted by Bukayo Saka in the 54th minute.

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

    80. Ten minutes to go!

    One goal will win it now, surely.

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham - Tottenham double substitution

    78. It's two changes for Spurs, and it's the end of the road for their two main men.

    Son Heung-min and James Maddison depart with Richarlison and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg on in their place.

    The captain's armband is handed to Cristian Romero.

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

    76. Now it's Arsenal's turn to pour forward.

    White busts a gut to overlap Saka on the right, but his energy is not matched by the delivery into a packed penalty area.

    Instead, his cross is deflected casually into the arms of Vicario.

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham - Romero yellow card

    74. Who had 74 minutes in the when will Cristian Romero be booked bingo?

    The defender is carded for grappling with Gabriel Jesus before the corner can even be taken. I suppose it is Argentina versus Brazil.

  • Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

    73. Tottenham look the more assured side as the game enters its final stages.

    Another crisp break from the visitors sees Kulusevski win a corner on the right.
