Gibbs the superhero as Arsenal draw Tottenham

Kieran Gibbs celebrate after scoring the equaliser for Arsenal .  
  
Spurs dominated for long periods and took a deserved first-half lead when Harry Kane broke clear and slotted in.


However, Arsenal slowly took control in the second half and equalised when Mesut Ozil provided a deep cross for Gibbs to bundle past Hugo Lloris.
Arsenal are level on points with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, while Spurs lie fifth.
Though the visitors were denied an impressive victory, Mauricio Pochettino’s side remain unbeaten since the opening day of the season and are within three points of a Champions League place.
On the evidence of this performance, they are credible contenders to finish in the top four.
They have developed into a highly efficient unit who press the ball well from a solid base, while their attacking trio of Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane appears capable of breaking down the meanest of defences.
Same old problems for Arsenal
Arsenal were beaten 5-1 by Bayern Munich in midweek, and their defensive frailties were highlighted by Tottenham’s opener.
Spurs left-back Danny Rose played a ball inside the channel and, after Laurent Koscielny had stepped up, Kane nipped in front of Per Mertesacker before applying a composed finish.

Article by Femi Fani-Kayode  ''Aside the 105 soldiers killed by Boko Haram, additional 34 soldiers were killed 2 days ago but it wasn't in the news''- Deji Adeyanju. I concur with Mr. Deji Adeyanju. The most heartless and reprehensible thing that our government could have done is to cover-up the fact that 105 of our soldiers were killed by Boko Haram a few days ago. To do such a thing is simply evil.
