Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang saw a last-minute penalty saved by Hugo Lloris to cost Arsenal victory and ensure Tottenham retained a crucial advantage over their arch-rivals in the battle for a top-four place after a dramatic north London derby at Wembley.
Aaron Ramsey, playing in his final north London derby before leaving to join Juventus in the summer, finished on the counter-attack after 16 minutes to put the Gunners ahead. Spurs levelled from the penalty spot in the 74th minute through Harry Kane after he had been barged over by Shkodran Mustafi.
Arsenal were handed a golden chance to win the contest late on when second-half substitute Aubameyang was fouled inside the area. His miss from 12 yards was compounded by a late red card for Lucas Torreira, awarded for a stoppage-time foul on Danny Rose.
Third-placed Spurs' first draw of the season ends a two-match losing streak and keeps them four points ahead of Arsenal in fifth.
Mauricio Pochettino: "It was a fantastic game, exciting game with great atmosphere with two teams that wanted to play and win the game. If we assess the game I think we were better than Arsenal in all the aspects. Our performance was not great, but it was really good to draw and maybe deserve to win.": "It was a fantastic game, exciting game with great atmosphere with two teams that wanted to play and win the game.

Unai Emery: "I am proud of the players and their work. You can win, lose or draw, like we did, but above all this we played like a team and fought together. The adaption to the match was good and our moments in 90 minutes were strong, we could have won this match."
