5 of the best North London derbies of the Premier League era

#2 Arsenal 4 - 4 Tottenham, 29/10/2008

Generally, when you score four goals you should be able to win most football matches but sometimes, it still isn't enough. On an October night in 2008, four goals weren't enough for a win for either side in the North London derby.

Tottenham once again scored first as former Arsenal trainee David Bentley found the net with a spectacular 40-yard volley in the 13th minute and it lasted for 20 minutes before Mikael Silvestre equalized for the Gunners.

The 60,043 crowd then witnessed a breathtaking second half. It started with William Gallas putting the Gunners ahead in the 46th minute and then, there were three goals inside four minutes.

Adebayor made it 3-1 for Arsenal in the 64th minute but Darren Bent replied for Spurs a few minutes later.

A minute later, Robin van Persie gave the hosts a two-goal cushion again. However, the lead wasn't big enough for the Gunners to get a win.

In the 89th minute, Jermaine Jenas curled in a great strike with his left foot and Aaron Lennon managed to make it 4-4 in the dying seconds of four minutes added on.

The 4-4 result is one of the highest scoring draws in Premier League history. Only a 5-5 result between West Bromwich Albion and Manchester United in 2013 has had more goals in a game that ended without a winner.

The match probably brought back quite a few memories for the older supporters of the teams. There were two 4-4 North London derby games back in 1962 and 63.
