Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur contested yet another enthralling North London derby.
Alan Sugar wasn’t impressed with Hugo Lloris continually giving the ball away as Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur contested an entertaining 2-2 draw on Sunday afternoon.
A lot was made of who was going to start the game, especially from Spurs’ perspective, with Jan Vertonghen and Christian Eriksen returning to the starting XI.
Despite being left out of Spurs’ opening three Premier League matches, Eriksen opened the scoring inside the first 10 minutes when he pounced on a mistake from Arsenal goalkeeper Leno.
Granit Xhaka then fouled Heung-Min Son in the penalty area in a reckless manner just before the break, as Harry Kane slotted home from the spot to give his team a two-goal lead.
Before, during and after Arsenal’s comeback, where Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored for the home team, this is what Sugar posted from his personal Twitter account, including aiming a dig at Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side will be bitterly disappointed that they blew a two-goal lead, but over the course of the whole match, Arsenal were the better side.
Added with that, Spurs went into the game under huge pressure following recent poor performances and poor results and many felt they would lose the encounter.
So, from one perspective it is a very good point for Tottenham, but on another, they will feel that they should have done a lot better to hold onto that lead they had in the first half.
