- The 26-year-old was at fault in the second conceded goal.
- Xhaka’s tackle on Son led to a penalty converted by Kane.
- The game finished in a 2-2 draw ultimately.
Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw at the Emirates in the north London derby. It was largely due to defensive errors we only took a point out of this game.
We conceded early in the game after a series of mistakes from the defenders and Bernd Leno as Christian Eriksen tapped in the ball in the open net.
Then it was Granit Xhaka’s turn to put us in a real predicament. The captain needlessly clipped Son Heung-min with a sliding tackle inside the box and the ref whistled for a foul. Harry Kane converted a spot-kick to give the visitors a comfortable advantage.
Luckily, we managed to restore the parity thanks to Laca and Auba’s goals.

However, Granit’s blunder is simply inexplicable. After the game the midfielder shared apologies via te the social media.
His Instagram message read: “Thanks for the amazing support inside the Emirates 👏 We showed a lot of character and you helped us to come back into the game. For the penalty I made a mistake – I’m of course angry about it but I will never give up! @arsenal #GX34”
