Despite Lacazette's thunderbolt, Arsenal's lead would only last two minutes thanks to a defensive mix-up.

Sead Kolasinac's wayward pass caught David Luiz off guard, with the ball rolling to Son Heung-min who scooped it over Emiliano Martinez to bring his side level.

A fast start at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 🔥
