Poyet saves Spurs

Sol Campbell and Les Ferdinand collide

Gus Poyet hooked in an injury-time equaliser as Tottenham saved a point against Arsenal at White Hart Lane.

Robert Pires put the Gunners ahead in the north London derby with nine minutes to go in a match which failed to live up to the hype.

It was billed as the return of Sol Campbell but it was Pires' curling 25-yarder past Neil Sullivan which looked to have stolen the show.

However, Poyet latched on to the ball and beat a dejected Richard Wright to level the tie.
