Captain Son Heung-min scored his 149th and 150th Tottenham goals as his side twice came from behind to draw 2-2 at Arsenal in a pulsating north London derby.

Arsenal had beaten Spurs in each of their previous three EPL meetings at the Emirates Stadium and appeared to be on course to extend that run when Cristian Romero scored an own goal 26 minutes into Sunday's game.

But Spurs drew level just before half-time when Son found the net with a neat left-footed finish following a cutback from James Maddison.

Romero's day got worse seven minutes into the second half when a VAR review found him guilty of blocking a Ben White shot using his left hand.

Bukayo Saka converted the resultant penalty kick to spark wild celebrations among Arsenal supporters.

But those celebrations did not last long. Spurs drew level 98 seconds later following another successful link-up between Maddison and Son.

Maddison tackled Jorginho before timing his pass to perfection for Son, who this time used his right foot to beat David Raya.

Son is only the third player in Tottenham's history to reach the 150-goal mark - after club legends Jimmy Greaves (180) and Harry Kane (278).
