Bukayo Saka is unstoppable. The 22-year-old scored the opener with a superb shot that deflected off Cristian Romero to give the Gunners the lead in the 26th minute. However, Son found the equaliser before the break to restart the game.

What a tight first half at the Emirates Stadium. Tottenham Hotspur pressed high in the opening minutes but Arsenal managed to dominate the first period successfully.

The Gunners created several chances that were denied by goalkeeper Vicario, who performed incredibly well in the first 45 minutes. However, the Italian was unable to stop the first goal created by Bukayo Saka.

The 22-year-old evaded several Tottenham defenders, tried his luck from close range and his shot deflected off Cristian Romero, who tried to prevent the opener but ended up scoring an own goal.

However, Heung-min Son netted the equaliser in the 42nd minute to restart the game before the break. If the match ends like this, the Gunners would be in fifth place while Spurs would take third place.
