Two minutes later, it was the turn of the hosts as Harry Kane benefited from a superb combination of Victor Wanyama and Sissoko, but he was unable to beat goalie Leno.

Arsenal got their goal in the 16th minute when Alexandre Lacazette directed a fine pass to Aaron Ramsey who then sent Hugo Lloris the wrong way in what could be his last London derby game for the Gunners.

Spurs tried all they could to restore parity before the end of the first half, but Arsenal would have goalkeeper Leno to thank who saved his side in the first 45 minutes.

Mauricio Pochettino's side finally got their equalizer in the 74th minute via a penalty that was scored by Harry Kane in which Arsenal's Shkodran Mustafi was cautioned with a yellow card.

The match however ended 1-1 at Wembley as Tottenham remain third on the Premier League standings while Arsenal are fourth.

Since the Argentine football manager took over at Tottenham, he has never won a trophy and has been criticized by football fans and pundits.
