Unai Emery saluted Arsenal’s fighting spirit after they hit back from two goals down to salvage a pulsating 2-2 draw against Tottenham in Sunday’s north London derby.
Emery’s side were in danger of a damaging defeat after goals from Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane put Tottenham in control by the 40th minute at the Emirates Stadium.
But Alexandre Lacazette reduced the deficit just before halftime and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang grabbed Arsenal’s equaliser after the interval.
“I’m pretty proud of our work. We played with our heart, sometimes more than our head. We need the balance,” Emery said.
“We need to be clearer in our mind. We made some mistakes in the first half.
“The fans pushed us and helped us. The first goal for us was the key.
“We deserved to win over the 90 minutes. The match was amazing for everyone watching.”
Arsenal head into the international break in fifth place, with just one defeat from their first four matches. (SuperSport)
