Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Arsenal: 5 Takeaways from the game

#2 Arsenal should have won the game

Aubameyang failed to convert a late penalty

After taking the lead as early as the 16th minute, Arsenal were in control of the game. They looked prepared to handle everything that Spurs threw at them, and did not looked threatened at any moment in the game. The first half ended 1-0 and it could have easily been the score at the end of the game.

However, even though the away side looked solid at the back in the second half as well, they were undone by a poor decision from the referee. Tottenham were awarded a penalty and Harry Kane brought them level. All of a sudden, Spurs looked on the rise and the Gunners huffed and puffed to match up to the adrenaline of the home side.

In an interesting turn of events, Gunners were awarded a penalty late in the game. Replays suggested it was another soft decision, but it did give the away side a chance to secure the win that they deserved. Unfortunately for the Gunners, Aubameyang’s penalty was saved easily by Hugo Lloris and the game ended 1-1. Emery will be ruing the missed chance and it could affect Arsenal’s position in the table as well.
