    Aubameyang failed to convert his penalty

    It was a fantastic end-to-end affair at Wembley in the North London derby as Arsenal threw away the chance to move higher up the table thanks to a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's late penalty miss. 

    Arsenal took the first half lead through a wonderful cool finish from Aaron Ramsey and as the Gunners looked to be running away with all points, Harry Kane was gifted a penalty to make it 1-1 in the second half with replay showing he was in an offside position prior to that incident. Arsenal had the chance to win it after Aubameyang was brought down by Davinson Sanchez late in the game but the Gabonese forward failed to convert as Hugo Lloris saved. Lucas Torreira received given his marching order in additional time and he will now miss the match against Manchester United next weekend. Tottenham are still third with 61 points while Arsenal moved down to fifth with 57 points.

    Tottenham have now drawn their first Premier League game this season after 28 games without a draw.
    Arsenal are the only team in the Premier League yet to keep a clean sheet away from home this season.
    Aaron Ramsey has had a hand in three of Arsenal's last four Premier League goals against Tottenham with one goal, two assists.
    This is the first time ever that Alexandre Lacazette would be involved in goals in four consecutive Premier League matches, he has three goals and one assist. He has also been involved in 36 goals since his Premier League debut, more than any other Arsenal player.
    Kane has scored nine goals in nine North London derbies. And he has scored nine of his side's last 12 Premier League goals against the Gunners. Only Robbie Fowler with 10 and Wayne Rooney with 12 have scored more goals in the Premier League against Arsenal.

    Romelu Lukaku scored a brace to secure all three points from 1-0 down for Manchester United. The match ended in a 3-2 victory with Lukaku scoring the winner in dying minutes. Andreas Pereira also got on the score sheet and United have now moved to fourth on the log with 58 points, one point above Arsenal who stand fifth.
