Tottenham Hotspur played out a very creditable 2-2 draw against Arsenal in Sunday’s Premier League encounter at the Emirates.
Spurs went behind in the 26th minute thanks to Cristian Romero’s own goal, but Son Heung-min scored three minutes before the break.
Arsenal then scored again in the 54th minute, when Bukayo Saka successfully converted a penalty, but Son restored parity shortly after the match started.
The match ended with four goals shared between the two bitter rivals, both of whom shared the spoils.
As usual in North London derbies, it was an exciting and at times fiery encounter. Tottenham’s YouTube channel has now released a Matchday Uncut video, which features a humorous moment involving James Maddison around six minutes in.
After the 26-year-old assisted Son for Spurs’ first, he could be seen facing the Arsenal fans as he made his way towards his celebrating teammates.
After a bottle came his way, landing towards his feet, Maddison seems to exaggerate his steps before turning to face the crowd – while seemingly smiling – once again.
Was the Tottenham man ‘giving it’ to the Arsenal supporters? If he was, that sort of thing would obviously go down well with the Spurs faithful.
Our view
Maddison has been a superb signing for Spurs, with an impressive two goals and four assists from his first six league outings.
Tottenham as a whole look much reinvigorated following Ange Postecoglou’s arrival, and he certainly passed the test, leaving N5 with a point.
Up next for Spurs is Saturday’s Premier League meeting with Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
