HT: Arsenal 0-1 Tottenham

Despite being a pre-season friendly, there is no love lost between these two teams.

Arsenal were not happy that they were not awarded a free-kick in the build-up to the goal.

However, the referee was not interested and waved away their protests.

HT: Arsenal 0-1 Tottenham

That was some strike from Pape Sarr for Tottenham.

It must have been something Thomas Frank highlighted before this match, Raya's tendency to be off his line so often.

Great finish from the Spurs midfielder, seeing a chance and executing it are two very different things.

HT: Arsenal 0-1 Tottenham

The referee brings the first-half to a close.

Sarr's stunning strike from some 50 yards out is the difference.

Arsenal have it all to do in this one.

Richarlison wins the ball back from Lewis-Skelly.

Sarr spots Raya way off his line and drifts a shot over the keeper and into the back of the net.

We are going to have three added minutes.

Goal - Pape Sarr (Tottenham)

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

He had to time that just right or risk giving away a penalty.

Tottenham are able to hack it clear and take the pressure off.

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

They have a free-kick in a wide position for Rice to swing in.

It gives The Gunners a chance to send the centre-backs forward.

Bergvall looks to play the winger in but is penalised for offside.

As Son warms up on the touchline, he receives a massive ovation from the fans in Asia.

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

He plays it back to Lewis-Skelly and The Gunners start all over again.

It is switched to Saka out wide but his pass is lost by Havertz as Spurs are able to clear.

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

The referee immediately awards a free-kick.

It does not take Arsenal long to win the ball back and Saka is fouled as they look to counter at pace.

Bentancur is shown a yellow card as a result.

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

The midfielder needs to receive some treatment as a result.

It gives the players a chance to get some fluids onboard.

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

The Gunners come on the attack, looking to pass it through Tottenham.

When Odegaard finally clips a cross into the middle, it is easily dealt with by Porro.

Richarlison showing Viktor Gyokeres how it is NOT done with one of the misses of the season already, perhaps the worst miss of all time as he manages to put the ball over the ball while on the line and no one in sight from a corner.

The fans - and everyone in the press box - are in shock.

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

Another corner sees Raya throwing his arms around like one of those inflatables outside car showrooms.

It comes through a sea of players and strikes the far post, with Riicharlison unable to convert the rebound.

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

Kiwior is robbed of the ball and Kudus' shot deflects out wide to Odobert.

He looks to roll one into the far corner but it strikes the post and goes wide for a corner.

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

The defender is able to continue as the physio gives the thumbs-up to the bench.

All of that was as a result of a foul the Arsenal man committed.

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

Once again the German lays on the turf expecting a decision to go his way.

So far in this game the Arsenal attacker has spent more time face down in the grass than Snoop Dogg.

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

Just as easily as he picks the pocket of an Arsenal player, a poor touch sees him gift possession back.

It has all got a little scrappy in the middle of the park currently.

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

He gets it all wrong as he plays it into the path of Rice, who is through on goal.

His first touch takes him a little wide and he is forced to try and cut it back but Spurs are able to put it behind for a corner.

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

Who says no-one is interested in pre-season friendlies.

Both managers are looking very animated on the touchline.

Mikel Arteta is secretly loving the intensity of this one, even if Spurs have come back into it in the past few minutes, berating the fourth official and the linesman - as well as some of his own players!

Bukayo Saka got an earful for straying offside. Thomas Frank is noisy in the technical era too.

You can already tell they will have a few ding-dongs next season...

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

Raya is looking to hit some direct balls out to the flanks.

Saka does well to get it under control but the flag goes up for offside.

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

He appeals to the referee like Richarlison has stolen his arm.

The official is having none of it and plays continues.

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

It beats everyone and crashes against the back post.

Richarlison tries to turn the rebound goalwards but it is well-blocked.

So close to an opening goal in this game.
