Arsenal star Bukayo Saka mimicked Tottenham midfielder James Maddison's celebration after the Gunners took the lead in the North London Derby.
Arsenal drew first blood against Spurs, as Martin Odegaard played a ball out to Saka on the right, who cut back onto his favoured left foot and attempted to bend an effort into the far corner.
Spurs centre-back Christian Romero stuck out a wild left leg, which sent the ball away from Vicario in the Spurs goal and into the net. While the goal ultimately went down as a Romero own-goal, Saka rubbed further salt in Tottenham's wounds by imitating Maddison's 'darts' celebration.Despite a dominant half for the Gunners, Tottenham equalised in the 40th minute through captain Son Heung-min.
Maddison skipped past Saka, made it to the byline and cut a ball back to Son, who swept in an emphatic finish against the run of play.
