10 unforgettable North London Derby moments

Fabregas’ solo goal from kickoff, Arsenal 3-0 Spurs, 31st October 2009

Yet another solo effort, this time from midfield maestro Cesc Fabregas. What makes this moment unforgettable is the fact the Spurs were still reeling from the first goal scored by Robin van Persie when Fabregas intercepted a loose pass straight after kick-off and simply ran through the slumbering Spurs defence. Two goals in 11 seconds and the game was all but over.

The speed and timing of the goal can be understood by looking at the video below. Replays of the first goal and Wenger celebrating are still being shown when Fabregas puts the ball into the net!

Danny Rose’s wonder goal on debut at White Hart Lane, Spurs 2-1 Arsenal, April 2010

Then 19-year-old Danny Rose would not have expected to become an overnight hero amongst the Spurs faithful on his full debut for the senior team. Set to start against rivals Arsenal, Rose would have been nervous simply due to the occasion and the opponent.

But 10 minutes into the game, Arsenal keeper Almunia punch cleared a corner and the ball fell to Rose, who simply swatted it away from 25 yards to send the home crowd into delirium!

Spurs went on to win 2-1, their first win over Arsenal in 11 years.
