Rice Arsenal Tottenham GFXGetty/GOAL

Declan Rice injury a bigger blow to Arsenal than dropped derby points: Winners & losers as Gunners star forced off while Son Heung-min and James Maddison keep Spurs rolling

There are few certainties in football, but one thing we can always be sure of is the North London Derby delivering drama, intrigue and controversy. Tottenham may have a new manager this season in the form of straight-talking Australian Ange Postecoglou, but the conventional wisdom held true at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. An unfortunate own goal, some VAR drama and a comical error: the most recent clash between these two bitter enemies had a sprinkling of everything.

But looking past the drama, it's hard not to view this as a disappointing day for Arsenal. Not only as they dropped points against a side who haven't won at the Emirates in a league game since Harry Redknapp was in charge, but also because they lost their quickly-emerging talisman, Declan Rice, to an injury at the break.

Dropping points will also particularly sting as the Gunners went ahead twice, missed a string of decent chances to put the game to bed and then gifted Spurs a route back into the game via a pretty unforgivable mistake.
