Tottenham's 2-goal Son: We showed great character for Arsenal draw

Tottenham captain Heung-min Son was pleased with their 2-2 draw at Arsenal.

Son scored twice as they twice pegged back Arsenal.

He later said: "It's a derby, it's always a tough game. But the performance was fantastic from the lads until the last whistle.

"I think we gave everything so I think the fans can be proud of the game. Obviously we wanted to win, but I think the performance was perfect."

On Arsenal's second-half penalty, which came for a Cristian Romero handball called by VAR, Son also said: "Look the referee made a decision, we can't just argue about this decision. We have VAR in this situation.

"Obviously the derby is an emotional game. It's a decision we accepted and we bounced back really strongly. Coming back at the time was important. We showed great character and [James] Maddison showed great bravery."
