#1 Excellent displays by Lacazette and Guendouzi
Lacazette halved the deficit with an all-important, emphatic finish just before half-time, leaving Lloris with no chance at his near post. That goal gave Arsenal forward momentum at a decisive moment as supporters' restless energy could have transferred to the players and seen them struggle to recover after the break.
Instead they returned purposeful and full of relentless running, propelled by a Frenchman who didn't start last weekend but played a part in their consolation goal at Anfield mere minutes after being introduced. He won countless duels, held up play well and frustrated an unconvincing Tottenham backline, while doing his bit defensively and winning possession on seven occasions - while coming out on top in 19 duels too.
If for better anticipation from Kolasinac, he would have earned a matchwinning assist after a clever headed flick-on across the box and although still not 100% fit, the chorus of boos reverberating around the Emirates when substituted for Henrikh Mkhitaryan (67') reiterates just how important he is to Arsenal.
Despite his excellent passing, Granit Xhaka was poor. Lucas Torreira was typically solid, though the youngest of Emery's midfield trio proved the integral component here. Matteo Guendouzi, who divides opinion over his role in the team, was fantastic and relished battling against a Tottenham midfield who have already been exploited this season, while tirelessly pressing and being methodical with his passing too.
Many have claimed the 20-year-old is too defensive-minded to thrive in a central role, but this display proved he can do more than just defend: creating a Mesut Ozil-esque defence-splitting assist for Aubameyang's equaliser. Quietly brilliant up to that point, he delivered another workmanlike display while covering ground effortlessly and keeping a level-head, which isn't always easy when most of your teammates do the opposite. Instead, he channelled his passion into an infectious midfield performance and impressed throughout.
