Spurs got the benefit of a penalty that shouldn’t have been a penalty due to the offside, then Vertonghen is about 4 yards inside the box when the Gooners take their pen and surprise, he’s the man who gets back in time to block the follow up on the line.
They (Spurs) certainly seemed to get the rub of the green with -4 big decisions all going their way (mostly incorrectly) but the result was probably a fair one in the end. Honestly though Tottenham would have comfortably won that a month ago, got an interesting few games coming up as if Man Utd and Chelsea win this weekend then they are suddenly clinging onto the top 4 by their fingernails.
And you're not? Your team were just outplayed by Arsenal but luckily managed to narrowly avoid a third loss on the bounce. Admittedly Poch will probably say the point in like winning the title...
We've hit a massive dip in form, so it was essential that we didn't lose that game . We were lucky, yes, but we've had more than our share of bad luck, this season, so I'm taking that.
The Law says: If a player in an offside position is moving towards the ball with the intention of playing the ball and is fouled before playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball, the foul is penalised as it has occurred before the offside offence
I said I’d take a draw before the game. I haven’t seen it but it sounds like Lacazette should have scored at least one in the first half, and you’d be expecting Aubameyang to put that pen away. Sounds like you got off the hook today ?
A draw sounded like a fair result (listened on radio) with Tottenham playing a bit more football but Arsenal having the better chances. neither team can be that happy but it is an exaggeration to say Tottenham got away with one.
