What were the key moments that led to Arsenal's comeback?

Unknown 0:07
But Guendouzi, can they find the key to the door?
Oh, they have done.
Unknown 0:18
Oh, Aubameyang came across and got the touch. He had the final say in this pulsating derby match, Aubameyang, and he's now having the first say about it. He's been speaking with Jeff Shreves.
Jeff Shreves 0:28
Over, of course, you were looking for a win today, but when you're 2-0 down, is a point a good result?
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 0:33
Yeah, I think so. I think in the first half we deserved to score maybe two goals, but then, yeah, that's what happened. But we are maybe not happy, but I think we did a great job. We played well. It was a tough game. And, yeah, I think we deserve maybe more tonight.
Jeff Shreves 0:55
How much do you feel you contributed to your own downfall in that Tottenham's goals you could have done much better for?
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 1:03
Yeah, I think so. I think after those two goals, we started to be under pressure, so we tried to push a lot.

How did the players react to being 2-0 down?

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 1:14
Laka scored the first one and then in the second half we had some chances and we scored the second one. I think we have the space to score a third one, but I think, as I said, it was a tough game, so it's a draw tonight.
Jeff Shreves 1:32
Do you think the timing of Lacazette's goal was crucial to give you something?
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 1:36
Of course, that was so important, I think, because when you go in the dressing room with a goal, it's always positive, so everybody in his mind knows that we have more power and we will come back stronger in the second half, so I think it was really crucial to come back.
Jeff Shreves 1:56
Beautiful strikers finished from you for your goal. How good was the ball, though, from Mathieu Guendouzi?
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 2:01
Great pass. It just... look at me and he knows that I'm going to run, so the ball was perfect and I have to say the goal deserves to be his pass.
Jeff Shreves 2:13
When you scored, you switched from out wide to central. Does that underline once again that you are more dangerous from the central striker's position? Do you prefer it there?
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 2:22
Yeah, as I always said, I like to play striker, but when the team needs me on the wing, that's no matter. I go and I try my best.
Jeff Shreves 2:33
Thanks for your time.

What impact did Lacazette's goal have on the game?

Jeff Shreves 2:34
Well done today.
Unknown 2:35
Well, he got his goal certainly from in that position and it finished 2-2, the 23rd draw between these two, which is a new record in Premier League fixtures. 39 attempts in this game. I mean, we all thought it, the stats bear it out, don't they? That's the joint most in a game this season. 17 of which were on target and that is a record for this fixture. Incidentally, 26 attempts from Arsenal. That is the most under this manager, Unai Emery, and eight yellow cards is also... a Premier League high for this season, which I think pretty much sums up the game, doesn't it? Jose, how would you sum up that game?
Jose Mourinho 3:12
Funny, funny, emotional, good to watch. And I think everybody that come here has the same feeling as me. Then if you go a bit further than that and we try to analyse the game by other points of view, I'm pretty sure that us with the different vision with a different capacity to analyze things there were some principles of play that was was incredible to watch at this level but what matters is the millions of people that watch the game and uh everybody at home a part of thousands that were here.

How did the managers evaluate their teams' performances?

Jose Mourinho 3:47
For sure they enjoyed it. I didn't want the game to finish.
Unknown 3:49
Well, absolutely. I think that absolutely perfectly sums it up. But funny for us, but just expand on that point for us in terms of what would it be like for a manager in that situation? It's great for us to watch, but if you're actually the guys down there and seeing your teams play like that. I'm not to talk.
Jose Mourinho 4:02
Because for the last 10, 15 minutes of the game, the game had 80 metres between the defensive line of Arsenal and the defensive line of Spurs. It was like 80 metres, lots of space to play. Counter-attack, counter-attack, counter-attack, empty space. Incredible, the game completely out of control. I think if one of the two teams has a little bit more brains and control and tactical sense, we'd win it.
Unknown 4:30
Well, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang thought that Arsenal deserved to win it. That's what he just told Jeff. What would you say?

What tactical adjustments did Arsenal make in the second half?

Sol Campbell 4:36
I think Tottenham had definitely had the first half.
