10 unforgettable North London Derby moments

Tottenham register their first win at Arsenal in 17 years, Arsenal 2-3 Spurs, 20 November 2010

At half-time, with the score at 2-0, Arsenal had this game in the bag. Spurs had gone into the dressing room demoralized and out of ideas, so no one could have foreseen what happened in the next 45 minutes.

Spurs, galvanised by an inspired Rafael van der Vaart, fought back through goals from Bale and van der Vaart himself. With five minutes to go and score at 2-2, Spurs won a freekick which van der Vaart sent curling into the box. Kaboul rose highest to head home, and the comeback was finished.

This was Tottenham’s first win in 17 years at Arsenal, and their first after 68 EPL matches of not winning at any of the Big Four teams.

Adebayor sending off for tackle on Cazorla, Arsenal 5-2 Spurs, 17th November 2012

This match was all about Adebayor, at least while he was on the pitch for all of 17 minutes. Playing against his former team, and seven minutes after giving Spurs a 10th minute lead, Adebayor’s lunge on Cazorla was punished with a straight red card.

Emotion got the better of Adebayor, who goaded the fans after scoring an early goal. A few minutes later, the same fans booed him off the pitch for an early shower. Spurs could not cope with the numerical disadvantage, and lost the match 5-2.
