3. Arsenal 5-2 Tottenham, 2012
Look back here Gooners because this win was the one which clearly made this loud and clear- Arsenal are a bigger club in North London, after Spurs had a ten point lead over Arsenal in the table and were sitting pretty at 3rd. This was a point which made Spurs fans feel that it could be the season when Spurs finished above Arsenal. But it wasn’t to be.
The commencement suggested that Spurs may emerge on top but after Louis Saha scored and Emmanuel Adebayor doubled the advantage, Arsenal tore Redknapp’s men to shreds.
Right back Bacary Sagna reduced the advantage and Robin van Persie’s strike allowed Arsenal to go level before half time. Czech Republic midfielder Tomas Rosicky handed Arsenal the lead after half time, and a quick-fire double from Theo Walcott made it five for the day.
As frustration piled on for Spurs, Scott Parker was sent off, rubbing salt on the wound.
