Arsenal 1-2 Tottenham
48 minutes
Almost a calamitous error from Lloris, who tries to play out from the back at the worst possible moment. His pass to Vertonghen is poor and almost intercepted by Aubameyang. The Arsenal forward can't quite get the ball under control, though.

Close! Spurs threaten for the first time in the second half with an incisive break away. The ball is worked to Son on the edge of the box, and his left-footed shot is deflected towards the bottom corner. Leno has to stretch to push it past the post, and the resultant corner is cleared.

Tottenham are finding spaces in Arsenal's defence when they get the ball forward. Son again picks up the ball in a promising position and tries to slide Lamela through on goal. Luiz reads it well, though, and makes a crucial interception.

Great save from Lloris! Arsenal work the ball into the box far too easily, and Guendouzi hits a low shot which looks certain to nestle in the bottom corner. But Lloris does brilliantly to turn it away. From the corner that follows, the ball flashes across goal with Aubameyang and Kolasinac inches away from a tap in.

Arsenal are dominant at the moment, piling on the pressure. Lacazette tries an audacious effort from distance that dips just wide of the far post.

Eriksen goes into the book for a late tackle.

So close! A superb, flowing move from Spurs ends with a clever one-two between Eriksen and Kane. The latter shoots from a tight angle, smashing the inside of the post and watching as the ball rolls away from danger. A lucky escape for Arsenal.

Spurs make a first change on the hour mark: Dele Alli is on for Lamela.

Arsenal want a penalty. But they're not getting one. Aubameyang goes down under a challenge from Sanchez in the box. It would have been very soft had it been given.
