Kieran Gibbs was Arsenal's unlikely rescuer after coming off the bench in the north London derby Sunday, scoring his second-ever Premier League goal to recover a 1-1 draw against Tottenham.

The defender's first goal since March 2012 came in the 77th minute, three minutes after surprisingly replacing forward Joel Campbell with Arsenal trailing. The provider was less of a surprise, with Mesut Ozil's high ball to Gibbs at the back post his 10th assist in 11 league games.

It canceled out Harry Kane's first-half opener and denied Tottenham a first win at the Emirates Stadium in five years.
