Son Heung-Min had given the visitors the lead in the 25th minute against the run of play.But as they have done so often, the Gunners scored from a corner as Gabriel Magalhaes’ header was bundled in as an own goal by Dominic Solanke.Leandro Trossard then put the home side ahead on the stroke of half-time with an fine finish.Here’s how the players rated…David Raya – 6Spectator until kept out Kulusevski shot midway through first half, then beaten by deflection for Son goal. Didn’t make a save in second half.Jurrien Timber – 6Solid enough defensively to keep Son Heung-Min mostly quiet but less sure of himself going forward, wasting good chances to cross.William Saliba – 6Untroubled until Son’s shot went in off him. Started second half hesitantly but kept his concentration to minimise Tottenham openings.Gabriel Magalhaes – 8Brilliant interception to deny Solanke then decisive at other end to force equaliser. Excellent against Solanke twice more in calm and steadfast second half.Myles Lewis-Skelly – 8Fine pass to play in Sterling set tone for excellent, mature, all-round display from second youngest Arsenal player to start a North London derby.Thomas Partey – 7Strong presence who won the ball back well, not least ahead of Arsenal’s second goal. But sometimes looked vulnerable to Spurs’ pace on break.Declan Rice – 7Covered lots of ground and finally found a good set-piece delivery to create equaliser. Still not quite at his best, but much closer.Raheem Sterling – 5Saw plenty of ball, but with little end product, including golden chances at start of both halves. Curiously reluctant to take on his man. Deservedly hooked.Martin Odegaard – 6Prompted and probed without finding killer pass but released Trossard for second goal. Missed chance to make it 3-1, fewer signs of return to form than Rice.Leandro Trossard – 6Frustrated home fans with lack of killer instinct and poor decisions until he fired Arsenal in front. Did little after break to merit staying on for so long.Kai Havertz – 4Barely involved first half apart from nicking ball off Spurs keeper Kinsky. Headed wide from close range early in second. Nothing coming off for him.SUBSGabriel Martinelli (for Sterling, 61) – 5Slow to get up to speed and contributed little apart from one penetrating run into the box and a blocked shot.Kieran Tierney (for Trossard, 77) – 6Brought on to shore things up and did it well enough.Oleksandr Zinchenko (for Lewis-Skelly, 87) – 6Useful legs for dying minutes, almost created chance.Mikel Merino (for Rice, 87) – 6Good booking to stop Solanke getting away in stoppage time.

    Anthony Joshua’s ‘reaction’ to Tyson Fury retirement revealed by Eddie Hearn as £500m fight lies in tatters

    EDDIE HEARN was probed on Anthony Joshua’s reaction to Tyson Fury announcing his retirement from boxing. Fury took to social media to hang up his gloves – not for the first time – following consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk. Tyson Fury announced his retirement from boxingCredit: PAIt leaves a fight with Anthony Joshua in tattersCredit: GettyAnd it appears he is ready to walk away from a series of bouts with AJ worth a combined £500MILLION. But Joshua’s promoter Hearn is not so convinced and claimed he has not even spoke to AJ about Fury’s bombshell retirement.He told iFL TV: “I haven’t. Nope. Listen, one, we don’t really take it too seriously. Two, if it is serious there’s nothing we can do about it anyway. “What do you think goes on? Do you think Josh is going to phone me up and go, ‘Oh Ed have you seen the news, mate?’ READ MORE IN BOXING”He’s not that kind of guy.”Hearn admitted Fury could have made the announcement for a number of reasons. He said: “He could have been doing it because he’s got the hump. He could have been doing it for some attention. “He could have been doing it because it’s true. What’s the point in guessing?”Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSFury has retired four times before, three of those coming on social media. And in his latest, he said: “Hey everybody, I am going to make it short and sweet.Tyson Fury retires from boxing with cryptic ‘Dick Turpin wore a mask’ jibe to leave Anthony Joshua fight dead in water “I would like to announce my retirement from boxing. It has been a blast and I have loved every single minute of it.”I’m going to end with this – Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody and see you on the other side.”Not his first retirement…THIS isn’t the first time Tyson Fury has retired.His first came 12 YEARS ago, when in 2013 he grew frustrated when a fight with David Haye fell through.He declared at the time: “Hi everyone, I have officially retired from boxing. There’s too many bent [crooked] people in the sport. They will have to f*** someone else. Goodbye boxing.”Then, he took a three-year break from the sport between 2015 and 2018, during which many didn’t expect to see him again.In 2022 he retired TWICE.Speaking in the ring after defeating Dillian Whyte at Wembley with a sixth-round finish, he revealed he’d made a promise to wife Paris.He stated: “I’m a two-time undisputed world champion. [I have] £150million in the bank and nothing to prove to anybody.”Later in the year, he stated his plan to “100 per cent” return to the ring.But then just four days later he posted on X that he was quitting again.He posted: “Massive thanks to everyone who had an input in my career over the years & after long hard conversations I’ve finally decided to walk away & on my 34th birthday I say Bon voyage.”It means there will be serious doubts that his latest declaration truly means we’ll never see him in the ring again.
