Hugo Lloris got down low to keep out the substitute's poor kick and rescue a below-par Tottenham who had equalised in the 74th minute through Harry Kane's spot-kick.
Arsenal, bidding to close the gap to their arch-rivals to one point, had taken the lead in the 16th minute when Aaron Ramsey broke clear after a mistake by Davinson Sanchez.
Kane had a first-half header ruled out for offside but Tottenham struggled to create chances as a third Premier League defeat in succession for the first time since 2012 loomed.
Alexandre Lacazette had wasted a good chance to make it 2-0 to Arsenal, but it was the man who replaced him, Aubameyang, who cost his side victory with a poorly-struck penalty after Sanchez was adjudged to have fouled him.
A niggly game ended with Arsenal's other substitute Lucas Torreira being red-carded for a high tackle on Danny Rose.
Tottenham's first league draw of the season left them third in the table, four points above Arsenal who can be overtaken by Manchester United if they beat Southampton later.

90 + 3 minutes
Better defending from Davinson Sanchez, recovering in the nick of time as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's square ball seems destined for Mesut Ozil's feet.
90 + 4 minutes
Arsenal free kick inside the Tottenham half, just.
This might the final chance.
Short and to the right wing.
IT'S RED! High, lunging, heavy contact on Danny Rose's shin, and Lucas Torreira is dismissed in stoppage time.
90 + 5 minutes
It just looked like a red card. Not a great challenge at all, and Danny Rose remains down.
Anthony Taylor's first sending off of the season, and Lucas Torreira can have few complaints.
Honours even at Wembley, then, and Tottenham Hotspur have finally drawn a game of Premier League football.
Hugo's the hero after Lloris' stoppage time penalty save, and a word for Jan Vertonghen's heroic challenge as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang seemed set to atone for his penalty miss on the follow-up.
Arsenal fans will feel aggrieved that Tottenham's own penalty was awarded for Shkodran Mustafi's foolish buffeting of an offside Harry Kane, but, all-in-all, a draw is a fairly accurate reflection of the game.
That's all from us here this afternoon. Spurs maintain their four-point advantage over Arsenal in third place, and Unai Emery's side will drop to fifth should Manchester United beat Southampton this afternoon.
