Gallery: Five things we learned from Tottenham 1-1 Arsenal

Tottenham Hotspur earned their very first draw of the season today as they faced Arsenal in the North London Derby.

Spurs came into the game off the back of two straight defeats in the League, needing some points on the board to turn things around with Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United all breathing down their neck in the race for a top four spot.
