Arsenal corner, after Archie Gray’s head sees off another attacking raid. Rice, again… it’s a bad ball, too low and cleared at the near post. Tottenham surges forward, but Raya comes way out of his box, near the halfway line and clears the danger!
Spurs on the attack again. This move ends with Maddison on the edge of the box and he tried to toe-poke it into someone’s path… but nobody’s there, and he probably screwed that up a bit.
More inspiration is needed for Tottenham, they look a bit flat right now.

Arsenal continue to knock on the door. Tottenham’s defence doesn’t look great, and they’ve just allowed a ball to bounce in the box and enable the hosts to have another mini-sniff.
They’re just a little bit flimsy in all aspects of the game at the moment, Spurs. No surety in attack or defence. Arsenal look the more likely side to score next, I’d have to say… but then again, that’s what it looked like before Spurs scored in the first half.
Anyway. Mikel Arteta looks to his bench. Raheem Sterling comes off, Gabriel Martinelli goes on.

Havertz with another chance - the ball’s crossed in but he heads it straight down Kinsky’s throat!
And now another opening… what on earth has happened there? Somehow they can’t connect from a really good area.
Johnson shoots at the other end… deflected… Kulusevski crosses, it’s headed clear, Spurs win it back.
I called it, that this game would be crazy!

There’s a shot by Son from the edge of the box after a long period of sustained possession by Spurs. But it deflects off Dominic Solanke and it goes out for a goal kick...
Now an incursion down the left via James Maddison the substitute. It ends in nothing but they win it back quickly and surge again… Raya collects.
Is that a bit of a spark from Spurs after those half-time changes?
