Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou joins an elite crowd of managers thanks to his side's 2-2 draw with North London rivals Arsenal.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has joined an elite crowd of managers with his side's 2-2 North London derby draw against Arsenal at the Emirates.

Sunday's blockbuster battle marked the first time that both Spurs and Arsenal entered a North London derby unbeaten since 1990, having each taken 13 points from their opening five matches.

However, Tottenham had only ever won one Premier League game at the Emirates - a 3-2 success in 2010 - and the Lilywhites went behind in the first half to a Cristian Romero own goal.

The deadly James Maddison-Son Heung-min worked its magic for Spurs before the break, though, as the former beat Bukayo Saka on the byline and crossed for Son to steer an equaliser in off the far post.

Saka would eventually come good in the penalty area, steering a penalty down the middle of the goal after Romero had blocked a Ben White effort with his hand, but Tottenham were only behind for fewer than two minutes.

Jorginho - who had replaced the injured Declan Rice at half time - was robbed of the ball inside his own half by Maddison, who slipped through Son to pick out the far corner in front of the away end.

Both teams had chances to net the elusive fifth goal, but Postecoglou and Mikel Arteta shook hands on a point apiece, which saw the former earn his place in an exclusive club of coaches.

Thanks to Son's brace, Postecoglou has now become just the fourth manager to see his side score at least two goals in his first six Premier League games in charge.

The Lilywhites also came up with a pair of strikes against Brentford, Manchester United, Sheffield United and Bournemouth, in addition to putting five past Burnley during a Turf Moor thumping.

The first manager to achieve such a feat was Carlo Ancelotti, whose Chelsea team scored at least twice in six successive games before their hot streak was broken in a 3-1 loss to Wigan Athletic.

Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola was unsurprisingly the next manager to oversee an identical run of six games with at least two goals, which ended with a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Finally, ex-Leicester City head coach Craig Shakespeare managed a seven-game run of multiple goals after replacing the sacked Claudio Ranieri, before the Foxes went down 1-0 to Arsenal in April 2017.

Despite prolonging their unbeaten run against their North London rivals, Spurs have been demoted to fourth spot in the Premier League table, with Liverpool and Brighton & Hove Albion leapfrogging the Lilywhites thanks to their wins over West Ham United and Bournemouth on Sunday.

Owing to their second-round EFL Cup exit at the hands of Fulham, Tottenham have six days to recuperate before they welcome Liverpool to North London on September 30.
