Arsenal vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result and reaction from four-goal thriller
Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham: Son equalised twice for Spurs as Ange Postecoglou’s side maintained their unbeaten Premier League start
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min’s brace earned his side a 2-2 draw at Arsenal in the Premier League as the visitors twice came from behind in an absorbing derby on Sunday.
Cristian Romero’s own goal after 26 minutes handed Arsenal the lead but Son equalised shortly before halftime as the visitors grew into the game.
Romero then conceded a penalty that was converted by Bukayo Saka in the 54th minute but Tottenham hit back almost immediately as Son punished a terrible mistake by Arsenal substitute Jorginho.
Both sides had chances to take maximum points with Son close to a hat-trick for Tottenham and Saka having a shot saved. Ten minutes of stoppage time could not separate the sides as the draw ensured both remain undefeated in the league this season with 14 points from six games.

GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Tottenham (‘26, Romero own goal)
26 mins: A terrible goal to concede for the visitors. Saka is one-on-one against Udogie and is welcome inside onto his left. The forward fires the ball towards the far post but it ends up in the Spurs goal via a huge deflection of the outstretched leg of Romero.
Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham
25 mins: Maddison with a free-kick centrally which he floats in towards Romero. the loose ball lands at Sarr’s feet and the central midfielder is now 0-2 for long-range efforts as he slices the ball high into the sky and backwards from the left edge of the box.

CLOSE! 16 mins: Not a great couple of minutes for Udogie as the full-back miscues a back pass behind Van de Ven. Nketiah latches onto the loose ball inside the area but fires straight at Vicario from a tight angle.
Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham
15 mins: Not a great sign for Spurs fans. Udogie is shown an early yellow after a late challenge on Saka. The Arsenal forward should relish the prospect of going up against the booked full-back for the rest of the game.
