Son Heung-min scored twice in the draw with Arsenal. Arsenal took the lead twice Tottenham but, in the end, had to accept a point split because of Son Heung-min's excellence. Son had an excellent match as a leader as well as a player. He may be given a new contract with a record salary by president Daniel Levy after a series of extremely impressive performances. Everyone thinks Son Heung-min lost his number 1 partner in attack when Harry Kane moved to Bayern Munich. But James Maddison did his job too well. He helped Son shine. James Maddison and Son will be the new couple to help Tottenham.

Well, you'd have to admit that Son's goals in the game added to boost his confidence and in an after match interview, you could see him boasting that Arsenal are not up to their standard and that if it hadn't been for some timely saves David Raya, the Gunners would have conceded more goals. I agree that Tottenham are on fire this season and so far are amongst the four clubs that haven't been defeated but don't you think he went too far by belittling Arsenal?
Arsenal seem to have brought this upon themselves if I should say because by now, a team like them should have outgrown some little mistakes and I watched the build up to the second goal for Tottenham, the Gunners just left their defenses open and Son maximized the opportunity and used it to punish them. I'm beginning to feel their £200m spent on purchasing players was a mistake or am I concluding too early?
Most fans believe that Tottenham needed that draw more than Arsenal. Do you agree?

That's right, and a draw scenario is what Tottenham needs more because Arsenal is rated higher than Tottenham and has a home-field advantage.
Gabriel Jesus is the reason why Arsenal let Tottenham draw. In matches like this, when Arsenal cannot finish off their opponents, Arsenal will have to pay the price. If Gabriel Jesus had scored and Arsenal were 2-0 up, things could have been different. Arsenal's inability to convert opportunities into goals is becoming a problem. This result caused the Gunners to widen the gap with Man City to 4 points and only ranked 5th. More seriously, coach Arteta also has to face an "injury storm" after this match.
