The Gunners were 36 minutes away from winning three consecutive games against Tottenham Hotspur when Bukayo Saka converted a penalty kick into the back of the net.
There were doubts surrounding the way Arsenal had began the heated Premier League encounter against their North London rivals but those doubts were easily cleared off right after Christian Romero handed the Gunners a 1-0 lead.
Tottenham Hotspur had £50m summer signing, James Maddison and South Korean captain, Son Heung-min, to thank for the point earned at the Emirates stadium this afternoon.
Both sides are now tied down to 14 points each on the Premier League table with six games played but Manchester City are still four points clear in the title race.
Mikel Arteta’s men should have clearly won the game but James Maddison and Son Heung-min deserves all the credit they can get for their superb partnership at the Emirates stadium.
Now, with all that in mind and no further delays, let’s quickly take a look at the main central message of this article.
Below are the three players to blame for Arsenal’s failure to beat Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates stadium this afternoon.
1. Jorginho
Declan Rice was substituted at half-time for a suspected calf problem only to be replaced by former Chelsea and Napoli midfielder, Jorginho.
The Italian midfielder lost possession and Tottenham Hotspur capitalised on his error with a second equaliser at the Emirates stadium to make the scoreline 2-2.
2. Ben White
The England fullback was caught out of position in the build-up leading to Tottenham’s second equaliser against Arsenal.
3. Gabriel Jesus
The Brazilian was unlucky in the first-half but had to score when a golden opportunity came his way in stoppage time.
Aside from his missed chances in the first-half, Gabriel Jesus was awful to watch against Tottenham.
