Son was able to walk off the field and the severity of the injury is not yet known, however he did look in some discomfort as he hit the ground. 

Lamela quickly made an impact after replacing Son from the bench as he gave Tottenham the lead with an outstanding Rabona finish just after the half hour mark.

Martin Odegaard levelled the score before the half time break with a deflected finish for this first Arsenal goal.

Son’s importance to the Spurs side has been pivotal to their success this season, with 13 goals and nine assists from 28 Premier League matches. 

He has also struck up a formidable partnership with striker and club captain Harry Kane who has 16 goals and 13 assists himself.

Jose Mourinho’s team are well in the running for a top four finish as they battle for fourth place with rivals Chelsea, West Ham, Everton and Liverpool.
