Spurs played out an enthralling draw against their North London rivals

#4 Tottenham finally score (linesman misses the offside call)

Kane was fouled but replays showed that he was in an offside position

Tottenham won a free-kick in the final third, and Kane was fouled by Shkodran Mustafi, as he tried to head in Eriksen’s delivery. Mustafi played as a makeshift right-back today and made a clumsy challenge in order to stop the advancing Kane.

However, Kane was probably already in an offside position, when the cross was delivered. The official could not spot it and did not raise his flag as a result. Kane made no mistake in converting from the spot. It was his 22nd goal of the season.

Kane now has 162 goals in 246 matches for the Spurs and remains one of the most prolific goal-scorers in the Premier League in the modern era. He was duly rewarded for his tireless performance as he kept troubling the Arsenal defence throughout the match.
