Arsenal came from behind to beat Tottenham in an engrossing north London derby at the Emirates.

Unai Emery's side trailed 2-1 at the break after Eric Dier's header and Harry Kane's penalty had stunned the hosts, who had themselves gone in front from the spot via Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

But they got a deserved win with three unanswered second-half goals, the first a pearler from Aubameyang and then a deflected Alexandre Lacazette strike before Lucas Torreira's late goal sealed the win.

Player to watch…

Christian Eriksen: The Dane is not letting the uncertainty around his future at the club come in the way of his performances. He grabbed an assist and was the mastermind once again in Tottenham’s convincing victory over Chelsea, before coming off the bench to score the late winner against Inter to ensure Spurs remain alive in the race for progression into the Champions League knockout stages.

46 mins: Kane's shot trickles wide but he was furious with Mike Dean for not awarding a corner and it looks like he was right to be.

Yes, that means the second half is now underway once again! 

Will we see the same drama as the first half? I certainly hope so! 

Nathan Jacobs2 December 2018 15:10

CHANCE SPURS! 

Leno is nowhere near to Eriksen's free-kick and he's lucky that his mis punch only goes out for a corner. 

Nathan Jacobs2 December 2018 15:12

49 mins: Free-kick Spurs. 

Looks like Harry Kane is eyeing it up...

Nathan Jacobs2 December 2018 15:14

49 mins: SAVE LENO! 

And the striker forces a fabulous save from Leno who tips it over the bar. 

Another corner to Spurs. 

Nathan Jacobs2 December 2018 15:14

54 mins: Arsenal building ahead of steam and Kolasinac sends in a wonderfully floated cross into the area but Spurs clear. 

Holding then relieves all pressure by taking on a shot from 40 yards. 

I'd have taken him straight off. What a ridiculous thing to do. 

Nathan Jacobs2 December 2018 15:20

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME! 

56 mins: Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham (Aubameyang)

What a wonderful wonderful goal from Arsenal and they deserve it. 

Ramsey does brilliantly on the edge of the box despite being ready to slip as he manages to flick the ball towards the Gabon striker. 

And with instinctive genius, he just wraps his right foot around the ball and Lloris can do nothing more than watch the ball sail past him. 

Nathan Jacobs2 December 2018 15:20

58 mins: What a magnificent game of football this has been. 

Can the last 30 minutes match what has gone before it? 

Nathan Jacobs2 December 2018 15:22

In the immortal words of Patrice Evra, I LOVE THIS GAME.

Nathan Jacobs2 December 2018 15:23

59 mins: CHANCE ARSENAL! 

OH MY WORD! OFF THE LINE!

Arsenal's corner is headed back into the box by Rob Holding and Mustafi's shot is cleared off the line. 

The ball comes to the edge of the box where Torreira runs onto it and his shot goes narrowly wide.
