Arsenal and Tottenham played out a tense draw in the north London derby at the Emirates Stadium.
Spurs narrowly edged a tight first half that was low on chances, though Hugo Lloris had to make a smart save from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain just before the break.
The visitors were content on playing on the counter-attack and it worked to perfection with Nacer Chadli opening the scoring against the run of play after Mathieu Flamini lost the ball in midfield.
Tottenham then tried to see out the game with Arsenal unable to create anything clear-cut.
But that was before Oxlade-Chamberlain reacted quickest to pounce on a loose ball and draw Arsenal level.
But who was the star man and who flopped at the Emirates?
