Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane gave Spurs a two-goal lead at the Emirates before Alexandre Lacazette pulled one back before half-time.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the equaliser in the 71st minute before Harry Kane saw a penalty claim waved away in stoppage time.

After the match, pundit Mourinho said: “[It was] funny, emotional and good to watch. I think everyone has the same feeling as me.

“There were some principles of play that were incredible to watch at this level. Everyone at home enjoyed that. I didn’t want the game to finish.

“A heart-attack [for the managers]. For the last 10-15 minutes of the game there was 80 metres between the two defensive lines.

“Lots of space to play. It was incredible, the game was out of control. If one of the two teams had more brains and sense they could have won it.”

But not everyone involved was happy with how the clash at the Emirates ended.

Aubameyang said: “After those two goals we started to push a lot, Laca scored the first and we had chances in the second half. We had spaces to score but we didn’t.

“As I always said, I like to play striker but when the teams needs me I’ll play on the wing and try my best.”
