Saka sent Arsenal into the lead early on, and celebrated by imitating darts. A celebration Tottenham supporters recognise. – You can clearly see which of them has played darts, because it is a terribly bad imitation of Saka. If you look technically at how to throw darts, it’s actually a bit of a crisis. But it’s funny, it should be a bit like that in the derby matches, says Steffen Iversen in the Viaplay studio. TEASING: Saka’s copy of the celebration was at least not a deterrent for Maddison, who ended up with two assists. Photo: TONY OBRIEN / Reuters – I would assume that there is a pleasant “banter” thing between two English national team colleagues, says Viaplay expert Pål André Helland. The dart celebration is what Maddison is known for. After the second goal, Saka celebrated once again by throwing darts, but it is questionable whether it was just fuel on the Spurs fire. Because then Tottenham struck back lightning fast. Maddison served Heung-min Son for the second time and ensured balance. Own goal and monster save After several great chances early in the first half, it was Arsenal who first took the lead. Martin Ødegaard sent the ball out to Bukayo Saka who pulled in and thundered in from outside the field. Cristian Romero lifted his knee, but instead of clearing, he sent the ball into his own goal. Gabriel Jesus came close to doubling the lead for Arsenal soon after, but then things suddenly boiled on the other side of the pitch. Arsenal escaped first with the horror. David Raya had to come up with a monster save as Johnson sent the ball down towards the left corner, but Raya just managed to push it wide. But a few minutes later it still passed the Spaniard. At the first post, Heung-min Son received the ball from James Maddison and sent it in at the post root to make it 1-1. Responded immediately The second round was no less relaxing. First, Arsenal were awarded a penalty, after VAR took a look at a hand situation inside the Tottenham box. Once again, it was Romero who was the culprit. Saka was once again certain and put the penalty in the middle of the goal. But before the Arsenal supporters have time to sit down, the game is tied again. Jorginho lost the ball in midfield, Maddison stepped up and played through to Son. Alone with the goalkeeper, he was able to score his second of the day for Tottenham. The Spurs duo thus ensured that points were shared in the London derby.
