Bukayo Saka aimed a subtle dig at James Maddison by performing the Tottenham star\u2019s now trademark goal celebration in Sunday\u2019s north London derby.<\/p>\n

Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n

The Gunners enjoyed the better of a typically frenetic and spiky opening period which saw a number feisty challenges go unpunished by referee Rob Jones. <\/p>\n

Saka had already troubled Spurs left-back Destiny Udogie during the opening exchanges and drew a foul from the defender which ultimately saw him pick up a yellow card in the 15th minute. <\/p>\n

With little protection offered by full debutant Brenan Johnson it was no surprise when Saka punished Spurs 11 minutes later, cutting in from the right flank unchallenging and launching a goal bound shot that flew into the net via Cristian Romero\u2019s outstretched boot.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saka sprinted towards the corner flag in celebration before pretending to throw a dart, as Maddison has done on each occasion he has found the back of the net this season. <\/p>\n

Arsenal missed several excellent opportunities to extend their lead, most notably through Gabriel Jesus who blazed over from 12 yards after he robbed a dawdling Maddison on the edge of the penalty area.<\/p>\n

The Gunners were made to rue those missed opportunities three minutes before the interval when Maddison enjoyed a measure of revenge by teeing up Son Heung-min\u2019s equaliser.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta\u2019s side thought they had escaped when David Raya made up for spilling a miscued cross by blocking Johnson\u2019s close range effort. <\/p>\n

The willing Maddison retrieved the ball, spun Saka and fired an inviting low cross into Son\u2019s path and the Spurs skipper did the rest. <\/p>\n
