Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s equaliser in the second half gave Arsenal a 1-1 draw against Tottenham in the English Premier League on Saturday. Spurs forward Erik Lamela failed to clear in the 74th minute and the ball ricocheted around the penalty area before falling to Oxlade-Chamberlain, who lashed the ball in from close range. Lamela put his face in his hands after the goal in the north London derby, whose result leaves Spurs winless in four matches.

“1-0 down in a derby is always a bit nerve-wracking,’’ Oxlade-Chamberlain said. “So we did well to come back.’’

Tottenham went ahead in the 56th when Nacer Chadli scored after Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini lost possession in a dangerous area.

Chadli scare

The ball was collected by Christian Eriksen, who laid it off to Lamela. His throughball split open the Arsenal defense, and Chadli slotted the ball into the bottom left corner.

Chadli was later booked for his goal celebration after putting his hands to his ears while running past a section of Arsenal supporters.

Spurs’ recent results are putting pressure on manager Mauricio Pochettino. But Spurs moved up a place to eighth, while Arsenal remained unbeaten and in fourth. Chelsea continue to lead and dominate the EPL table.
