Laurent Koscielny foul was a penalty for Tottenham and Arsenal's goal was not offside, says Graham Poll

Mark Clattenburg and his assistants performed excellently in this match and got the key decisions spot on.

As Mesut Ozil played a free-kick into the Tottenham area there were two Arsenal players in offside positions.

Kevin Wimmer, under pressure from Laurent Koscielny, headed the ball into his own net but, as Koscielny was not one of those offside, the goal was rightly allowed to stand.

Throughout the game Clattenburg had been in excellent positions and quick to decide on fouls.
