By then, Lloris had finally been called into action, diving to claw away Campbell’s left-foot drive – and the Gunners were unfortunate not to level soon afterwards when Olivier Giroud’s header shaved the crossbar. He’s a real goal-scorer and he did fight.

Tottenham: Lloris; Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Dier, Alli (Mason 82); Lamela (Son 75), Dembele, Eriksen (Onomah 90); Kane. But that can happen.
Arsenal was able to put pressure on Tottenham for the final 10 minutes of the game, but they were unable to score.
‘Spurs could be in a position next season to be in with a chance, but not this time’.
“We are pleased with the progress but we need to follow it up now; this is the game”. I have not done the mathematics yet.
Harry Kane looks to have resurrected last season’s form, scoring his third goal against Arsenal in three games.
Speaking on talkSPORT’s Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show, Friedel said: “I tip Tottenham to get into the top four this season, and that’s not because of my allegiance to them – I really believe in what Mauricio Pochettino is doing there”.
“We can go into the worldwide break and recover and get a few players fit and push on after”, Gibbs said.
“I think mentally we weren’t at the races”.
“I changed him at half-time. I must give credit to my players for their refusal to lose the game because they played against a good Tottenham side, but we still managed to get a point”, he explained.
Arsenal stayed on the same points as fellow league leaders Manchester City after the Citizens also dropped two points earlier on in the day against Aston Villa at Villa Park.
“We played great football on Sunday”.
“We were a bit on the ropes and we responded”.
“Over a short period you can replace a couple of players but with two games a week – and the intensity will not lessen – you need a lot of players who can replace each other and come and give energy”.
It just shows you that the championship will be extremely hard for everybody.

Arsenal confirmed they are aware of the situation and told PA Sport they are: “Working closely with Tottenham and the police to try to identify the culprits”.
