Wenger admitted Coquelin was rightly dismissed and criticised his player for collecting two yellow cards, but insisted Spurs’ Eric Dier should also have been sent off.
But the Gunners refused to give up and equalized 14 minutes from time when Alexis Sanchez fired a powerful strike into the bottom left corner of the net to make sure his side leave White Hart Lane with a point.
Campbell told SportLobster: “Arsenal fans have been criticising their team for a lack of hunger recently but today the desire was there”.
“Everybody drops points so let’s see what happens over the weekend”. I’m really sorry to all the fans for the red card, I think with 11 against 11 we could have won the game as we were playing really well. Then we might have a chance.
“You never know. I think we have ten games”. “Last year we had no chance, three or four years ago I think were in the race”.
Arsenal’s challenge for the Premier League title suffered a major blow on Wednesday when they lost 2-1 at home to struggling Swansea just days after a damaging 3-2 defeat at Manchester United. “These are always the things people say about us”, he said.
“If Leicester win the game at Watford they are in a very strong position”, he added, referring to Saturday’s late kick-off between the league leaders and the Hornets at Vicarage Road.
“But we are still improving and we need to move forward”. “I am pleased. It’s true, when it was 2-1 I am little bit disappointed with the result, but we have to be happy we keep the three-point gap to Arsenal”, Pochettino said.
“We had them where we wanted them”, said Kane to Tottenham TV post match. Coquelin will now miss one game but more than that, his brain went missing, Arsene Wenger was fuming since Arsenal were in the driving seat before the sending off and Coquelin could have cost Arsenal two points.

“The team needs to take encouragement from today and reproduce that kind of attitude in every single game”, the 66-year-old Frenchman said.
