Lacazette seems to have picked up an injury, so he's replaced by Mkhitaryan.

The pressure is almost constant from Arsenal now. Losing Lacazette could prove significant, though. Spurs will, no doubt, have been pleased to see him withdrawn.

Arsenal have the ball in the net, but the flag is up and it won't count. Kolasinac is played in down the left and crosses towards the back post, where Sokratis converts. But the former, as VAR confirms, was standing in an offside position.
