Christian Eriksen shows just how vital he is to Tottenham despite North London Derby draw

ARSENAL fought back from two goals down to snatch a draw against bitter rivals in the North London Derby.

Christian Eriksen opened the scoring after a poor Bernd Leno mistake, before Harry Kane stroked home a penalty.

But the fightback was on just before half-time when Alexandre Lacazette smashed home from close-range to give the Gunners hope.

The home side dominated the second period and eventually earned a well-deserved point, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang getting his toe on the end of a brilliant Guendouzi cross.

But despite the draw, Eriksen really proved his worth to Spurs - and they should not let him leave.

What an original take, right?!

And while the often dubbed 'overrated' Dele Alli is talented, the Englishman is far from a like for like replacement.

Just one more day of anxious waiting for Spurs fans before the European transfer window slams shut on Monday.
