Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
Spurs left the Emirates with a point after two goals from Son Heung-min to remain unbeaten in the Premier League under their new manager.<\/p>\n
Son levelled it up in the first half following Cristian Romero\u2019s own goal and he made it 2-2 in the second half after Saka netted a 54th-minute penalty.<\/p>\n
Spurs boss Postecoglou was left particularly impressed with his left-back Destiny Udogie, who kept Saka mostly quiet despite his yellow card in the 15th minute.<\/p>\n
\u2018I thought both our full-backs had difficult jobs today,\u2019 Postecoglou said after the match.<\/p>\n
\u2018Arsenal have outstanding wide players, that\u2019s where their threats are. Destiny picked up a yellow card and it could have made him nervous but but I felt he dealt with it well and ended up as the dominant player on that side of the pitch. <\/p>\n
\u2018It will have been a great learning experience for him, going toe-to-toe with a top side.\u2019<\/p>\n
