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.

Chance for Danny Rose!
Erik Lamela's quick feet work enough space for the cross down the right wing, but his delivery seems to be harmless, floating to the far post.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan misjudges the flight badly, leaping beneath the ball as it drifts over him and onto Danny Rose's chest, who seems surprised to find the ball cannoning off his pectorals and thus unable to control.
Rose desperately lunges into Bernd Leno as he looks to retrieve and release a shot, and Anthony Taylor books him for the height of the contact on the Arsenal goalkeeper.
71 minutes
There are nine Tottenham players inside the Arsenal half as Danny Rose gives the ball away poorly, and thus the Tottenham wing-back is grateful to Moussa Sissoko, the Frenchman charging back to dispossess Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with the Gabonese striker freed.
72 minutes
Aaron Ramsey's final North London derby, for the moment at least, comes to an end.
Mesut Ozil impressed in the Bournemouth thrashing early in the week, and he'll get 20 minutes.
PENALTY! Harry Kane goes down as he competes for a free kick and Anthony Taylor points to spot...
73 minutes
Right. Drama.
Harry Kane is clearly offside as Christian Eriksen sends in the free kick.
Shkodran Mustafi needlessly shoulders the Tottenham striker in the back, and Anthony Taylor doesn't hesitate.
GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Arsenal (Harry Kane, 74 minutes)
No mistake from the spot.
Kane sends Bernd Leno the wrong way.
Nine North London derby goals for Kane in the Premier League, more than any other player.
75 minutes
Arsenal fans will be aggrieved. Kane was definitely offside.
Once that decision was incorrectly made, however, it was a clear and very foolish foul from Shkodran Mustafi.
And the home crowd are right amongst things, now.
77 minutes
Spurs simply never looked like scoring, but a moment of good fortune has brought them level.
Unai Emery has a pained look on his face as Nacho Monreal wins a corner. HIs side looked in complete control.
Mesut Ozil will take the corner kick...
78 minutes
Nothing doing from Ozil's delivery, and though Henrikh Mkhitaryan battles hard to keep things alive, Kieran Trippier eventually clears.
Here comes Fernando Llorente...
