Kane makes no mistake from the spot, sending Leno the wrong way! Spurs double the lead just before half time, and Arsenal have a lot to do to get back into this one.

Close! Maitland-Niles finds space on the right and picks out Pepe, who tries to pick out the bottom corner with his left foot. Lloris gets down quickly to save and holds onto the rebound before any Arsenal players can follow it up.

Lacazette goes for goal from the set piece, curling a shot towards the far corner. Lloris saves, parrying the ball away to the left. We're into two minutes of added time.
GOAL! Arsenal 1-2 Tottenham (Lacazette)
45+2 minutes
Lloris can do nothing to deny Lacazette this time! Pepe picks him out in the box and he controls the ball superbly, before smashing a left-footed shot into the roof of the net. Arsenal are back in the game!
Half time: That's it for the first half! We could have a classic North London derby on our hands here. Spurs will have felt fairly comfortable two goals in front, but that late Lacazette goal has changed the complexion of the game again.
