2. Tottenham 4-5 Arsenal, 2004
One of the most pulsating encounters ever in North London derby history, this clash took place at White Hart Lane and was one hell of a see-saw encounter.
Defender Nourredine Naybet gave Spurs a lead before Thierry Henry equalized for the Gunners in first half stoppage time. Lauren’s spot kick made sure that Arsenal went in front in the 53rd minute. 7 minutes later, Patrick Viera scored the third. Jermaine Defoe’s strike minutes later gave Spurs hope, but they were extinguished as Freddie Ljunberg brought the lead back to 2. Ledley King’s thumping header gave Arsenal something to think about again as the score read 4-3.
French winger Robert Pires made it 5-3, as Freddie Kanoute pulled one back late, but it went in vain.
