Time to catch your breath!

It's safe to say Sunday's North London Derby has exploded into life as Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur cancel each other out with two first-half goals in under two minutes.

Arsenal's Eberechi Eze scored opened the scoring in the 32nd minute as he flicked up Bukayo Saka's cross and finished with close-range volley.

Remarkably, it is his first Arsenal goal since his hat-trick in the reverse fixture back in November.

While Eze had gone 19 matches in all competitions without a goal, he has now only the second player to score four goals in North London derbies – all against the team he nearly signed for last summer.

But just seconds later, Randal Kolo Muani nipped the ball off of Declan Rice and scored his first goal since joining Spurs on loan.

It is also Tottenham's first goal since Thomas Frank's sacking, marking the beginning of the Igor Tudor era.

Will Eze provide more NLD heroics or will the Spurs interim boss pull off the upset?
