#3 Spurs haunt Arsenal in more ways than one
Trending
Spurs hurt Arsenal in more than one way on the night. Their point against Sunderland took them to second, ahead of their north London rivals on goal difference. At the Emirates, meanwhile, it was three former Tottenham players that contributed to Arsenal’s downfall on the night.
Younes Kaboul, who played for Tottenham between 2010 and 2015, scored the visitors’ opening goal after a deflection off Ramsey took the ball sailing past the Arsenal keeper.
The second goal, meanwhile, was possible only because of a fantastic run by Etienne Capoue, another former Spurs player, who eased past the challenge of Mustafi to set up his captain Deeney for the finish.
Hourelho Gomes, too, had a solid game between the sticks for the visitors. The former Spurs keeper made a great save off a Theo Walcott strike early in the second half and was extremely decisive in dealing with set pieces.
