Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang missed a 90th-minute penalty as a scrappy north-London derby against Tottenham Hotspur ended in a 1-1 draw on Saturday.
Hugo Lloris got down low to keep out the substitute’s poor kick and rescue a below-par Tottenham, which had equalised in the 74th minute through Harry Kane’s spot-kick.
Arsenal, bidding to close the gap to its arch-rivals to one point, had taken the lead in the 16th minute when Aaron Ramsey broke clear after a mistake by Davinson Sanchez.
Alexandre Lacazette had wasted a good chance to make it 2-0 to Arsenal, but it was the man who replaced him, Aubameyang, who cost his side victory with a poorly-struck penalty after Sanchez was adjudged to have fouled him.
