For all of his faults, Arsene Wenger gets things right when playing Tottenham Hotspur more often than not. The Frenchman vehemently denied the idea that Arsenal were underdogs going into the game, and then went on to prove it.

The 0-0 against Chelsea proved a foundation for Wenger to work with, and the 5-2 against Everton gave him his attacking quartet. Arsenal could have comfortably won this game by a larger margin and credit goes to Wenger for making the right decisions - in the face of the negative atmosphere surrounding the club.

Tottenham remain trophyless in the last 4 years, a period in which Arsenal have won 3 FA Cups. Simply challenging for the title is not enough, and while Spurs may momentarily have the better side in North London, the proof can only come through silverware.

Power shift? Have a look....
