Chance! Sanchez misjudges a long ball and gives it straight to Mkhitaryan, whose touch lets him down. The attack stays alive, though, and Pepe finds space to shoot on his left foot. But he drags his effort wide of the near post.

There's a scrap between Winks and Sokratis on the touchline, and every player on the pitch is soon involved. The Arsenal defender is the only man to go into the book for it, though.

Spurs remain a threat on the break, and they very nearly work a late chance. Kane is played in down the right and looks to pick out Alli at the back post. It's blocked behind for a corner, which is headed away.

Sissoko blocks the ball on halfway and races onto it, surging into the box before trying to play in Kane. His pass is overhit and Leno gets there first. At the other end, Mkhitaryan finds space but takes too long to get a shot off. Both sets of players look tired now.
There'll be five minutes of added time.

Chance! Spurs could have won it in the last seconds! Kane breaks free down the left and plays an excellent pass into the path of Sissoko. The midfielder has time to measure his finish, but instead blazes over the bar.
Full time: That's it! A thrilling North London derby ends on level terms. Arsenal will be pleased to have come back from two goals down, but they'll feel they should have won this. Spurs, too, might feel a little disappointed to leave the Emirates with just a point. But both teams can take plenty of positives from this.
