Now relax.
After the best part of 100 often relentless minutes, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur could not be separated. A Kevin Wimmer own goal and a Harry Kane penalty ensured a 1-1 draw that, while not leaving either side delighted, is a decent point all things considered.
These two were not just playing this match today. For any regular north London derby, the week begins the moment Arsenal and Tottenham's preceding Premier League fixture ends.
Starting from that point, we take in those preparations—which this time were complicated by Champions League obligations—and, via the main talking points and social media build-up, examine how they shaped a pulsating clash that has left this rivalry for prominence still finely poised.
