Tottenham vs Arsenal player ratings: David Ospina the hero as 10-man Gunners hang on

Ospina made nine saves

Tottenham and Arsenal were both left disappointed as it ended 2-2 at White Hart Lane in the most anticipated north London derby in years.

In a first-half low on quality it was Tottenham who looked to be in control from the outset, however, it was Aaron Ramsey who opened the scoring against the run of play for the visitors in the 39th minute. The Welshman producing a clever back-heeled finish to guide a Hector Bellerin pass over the hapless Hugo Lloris.

After a cagey opening to the second-half, the game burst into life in the 55th minute, Francis Coquelin earning a second yellow card after committing an incredibly naive challenge to halt Harry Kane as the Spurs man broke down the left.

Tottenham made Arsenal pay almost immediately, Toby Alderweireld producing an excellent finish from a tight angle to bring the sides level.

Just two minutes later and Spurs were in front, excellent work from Dele Alli to keep the ball from running out for a goal-kick with an excellent back heel that fell to Harry Kane who cut inside and curled a stunning strike into the top right corner of the Arsenal net.

Arsenal struck back once again on 76 minutes, Alexis Sanchez bursting in behind the Tottenham defence to latch onto a Bellerin through ball and producing a wonderful finish across goal into the bottom corner of Lloris’ net.

Both teams will feel they could have pinched this one late on, however, it’s Leicester City who’ll feel like the real winners after this north London classic.
