Late penalty drama in north London derby

Hugo Lloris saved a 90th-minute penalty as Tottenham salvaged a 1-1 draw in a pulsating north London derby at Wembley.

After Harry Kane had rattled in a 74th-minute spot-kick to cancel out Aaron Ramsey's first-half opener, Lloris then kept out Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's 12-yard effort out to ensure a first Premier League draw for Spurs in 33 games.

It was Kane's ninth goal in nine Premier League games against the Gunners, and Lloris' stop ensured Spurs avoided three successive defeats, which would have left their chances of sealing a place in the top four in serious jeopardy.

Both penalty decisions were soft, with Kane appearing offside, while contact between Davinson Sanchez and Aubameyang appeared minimal before referee Anthony Taylor pointed to the spot for the second time.
