Arsenal and Tottenham remain unbeaten in the Premier League after playing out a breathless 2-2 draw in the Premier League, with Son Heung-min scoring twice to rescue a point for the visitors.<\/p>\n

The Gunners were well on top in the opening stages and took a deserved lead when Bukayo Saka\u2019s strike deflected in off Cristian Romero, but Ange Postecoglou\u2019s side responded impressively at the Emirates.<\/p>\n

Son equalised when he steered in James Maddison\u2019s cut-back and although Saka restored Arsenal\u2019s lead from the penalty spot when Romero was judged to have handled in the box, the Spurs forward hit back within two minutes when Jorginho was robbed.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the players rated from a thrilling Premier League draw.<\/p>\n

Arsenal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Recommended<\/h3>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

David Raya, 6<\/p>\n

Produced his best moment in an Arsenal shirt to deny Brennan Johnson with a stunning diving stop on the line. Looked wobbly in the moments before Son Heung-min\u2019s first-half equaliser but claimed several crosses impressively in the second half. Seems to be Areta\u2019s No 1.<\/p>\n

Ben White, 5<\/p>\n

Helped Saka overwhelm Destiny Udogie by providing an option on the outside, but was poor on the ball for the most part.<\/p>\n

William Saliba, 6<\/p>\n

Showed some classy touches on the ball but this was not Arsenal\u2019s finest afternoon defensively – their defensive record at home in the Premier League continues to be poor.<\/p>\n

Gabriel, 5<\/p>\n

The centre-back could not cope with Son\u2019s movement and was dragged out of position on occasions. The weaker link of Arsenal\u2019s defensive partnership.<\/p>\n

Oleksandr Zinchenko, 5<\/p>\n

A quiet game for the left back, who is usually much more involved on the ball. He perhaps suffered without having a natural winger in either Gabriel Martinelli or Leandro Trossard ahead of him.<\/p>\n

Martin Odegaard, 6<\/p>\n

The Arsenal captain did not seem to be as composed as usual and was booked needlessly inside 15 minutes. Arteta\u2019s team needed more of his influence.<\/p>\n

Declan Rice, 5<\/p>\n

Lacked some of his usual midfield authority, and his half-time substitution perhaps explains why. Mikel Arteta will pray Rice\u2019s calf injury does not rule him out for a significant amount of time.<\/p>\n

Fabio Vieira, 5<\/p>\n

The derby seemed to pass him by in midfield. Replaced by Kai Havertz at the break.<\/p>\n

Bukayo Saka, 8<\/p>\n

Gave Destiny Udogie a torrid time down the wing and it was no surprise that Arsenal\u2019s opener came from him, with Cristian Romero\u2019s deflection taking his strike into the net. Showed typical composure from the penalty spot but was much quieter in the second half.<\/p>\n

Gabriel Jesus, 5<\/p>\n

Missed a golden chance to put Arsenal two goals up after robbing James Maddison in the box, blazing over the bar. The Brazilian set the tempo of Arsenal\u2019s press but was wasteful in front of goal.<\/p>\n

Eddie Nketiah. 5<\/p>\n

Similarly to Jesus, Arsenal needed more killer instinct from the striker, who shot straight at Vicario after Udogie\u2019s backpass. The partnership with Jesus did not work out, and Arsenal lacked their usual fluency.<\/p>\n

Substitutes<\/p>\n

Jorginho – 3, replaced Rice but was caught by Maddison. An awful error.<\/p>\n

Kai Havertz – 5, struggled to make much of an impact.<\/p>\n

Tottenham<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Guglielmo Vicario, 7<\/p>\n

Made two big stops to deny Jesus and Nketiah early on, but there was nothing he could do about the deflected opener. The goalkeeper conceded twice but did not seem overwhelmed by the occasion on his first taste of the derby.<\/p>\n

Pedro Porro, 7<\/p>\n

Continues to impress with his inverted full-back role, while still offering plenty of threat down the wing. Certainly seems to have taken to his new manager\u2019s instructions well.<\/p>\n

Cristian Romero, 5<\/p>\n

A difficult afternoon for the Argentine, who dangled his leg dangerously and was punished when Saka\u2019s shot deflected in and then conceded a second-half penalty for handball when stretching to block a shot. He was perhaps unlucky on both counts.<\/p>\n

Micky van de Ven, 6<\/p>\n

Looked a bit more assured given some of the chaos around him and did the basics well enough, although Udogie\u2019s struggles suggest there may be a lack of communication on that side of Tottenham\u2019s backline.<\/p>\n

Destiny Udogie, 5<\/p>\n

Simply could not deal with Saka in the first half and gave the Arsenal winger far too much space in the move that led to Romero\u2019s own goal. Coped much better in the second half, especially considering he was on a booking for all of it.<\/p>\n

Pape Matar Sarr, 6<\/p>\n

Grew into the game alongside Bissouma after Arsenal\u2019s early press troubled Tottenham. He helped Spurs take more control in midfield.<\/p>\n

Yves Bissouma, 7<\/p>\n

Gave Tottenham what they have been missing in midfield in this fixture in recent years, which was bravery on the ball and a willingness to play out. Not an easy afternoon but he did well.<\/p>\n

Dejan Kulusevski, 5<\/p>\n

He was much quieter than the rest of Tottenham\u2019s dangerous frontline but still offered moments of quality touches.<\/p>\n

James Maddison, 8<\/p>\n

Took charge in midfield and led Tottenham\u2019s response, even if he was lucky he wasn\u2019t punished by Jesus. Did brilliantly to beat Saka to the ball and pull a precise cross back for Son\u2019s equaliser and then created the second too after robbing Jorginho.<\/p>\n

Son Heung-min, 8<\/p>\n

The South Korea international is clearly back to his best, and has found a new partner in Maddison. Offered a constant and varied threat with his penetrating movement across the frontline and produced two clinical finishes to earn Spurs a point. Deadly.<\/p>\n

Brennan Johnson, 7<\/p>\n

A lively first start for the young forward, who was denied a dream full debut by Raya\u2019s stunning save. He was willing on the ball but injury saw his afternoon come to an early end.<\/p>\n

Recommended<\/h3>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

Substitutes<\/p>\n

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, 6 – Steadied Tottenham when he came on and helped see the game out.<\/p>\n
