Tottenham 1-1 Arsenal: Tactical analysis and 5 talking points | Premier League 2018/19

#2 Tottenham came back slowly and almost scored

The Arsenal keeper made a terrific double save at the end of the first half

Spurs recovered from the initial blow to take control of the match gradually. Harry Kane, their talismanic captain was inspirational as the centre-forward again and played some incisive passes to Son-Heung-Min. However, Son was below par today and had to be substituted in the second half.

Tottenham attacked through the right flank primarily and their right wing-back Kieran Trippier played some nice crosses into the Arsenal penalty box. Kane also fell back to win the ball at times and delivered a sumptuous chip into the path of Eriksen inside the opposition box.

The Danish midfielder forced a smart save from Arsenal's goalkeeper Bernd Leno from point-blank range, before making the save of the match against Sissoko from the subsequent rebound.

This was a great opportunity for the home team to draw level just before the half time, but they squandered it. They also got a few more chances but suffered because of the profligacy of their forwards.
