Arsenal vs. Tottenham

3-0, Premier League, Emirates, 31/10 -09
Van Persie 43, 60,
Fabregas 43

To you who wonders, I haven't written it wrong on the score, Van Persie and Fabregas did score in the same minute, 11 seconds playing time between the two goals, but I will get to that..
Just such a great win in a tense North London Derby, Arsenal were ahead in the league on goaldifference(but with one game less played, by the way, the Bolton game has been rearranged again since we advanced in the Carling Cup, where we are going to travel to the City of Manchester Stadium in the next round), now we could be 6 points ahead of Spurs in the league, I honestly don't think that they will be challenging for a top 4 finish this season.
The atmosphere at Emirates was absolutely brilliant! You could hear all Gunners at all times, and at the end you could hear everybody cheer everytime Arsenal had the ball, and boo each time Tottenham had it.

It looked as though it would be a goal-less first half, but Tottenham didn't have that luck with them, and when Sagna clipped in the ball from his right side, van Persie were sharp and slammed it home! And that was the goal that started a situation that probably is a new record! Cause when Tottenham started the game from the center circle, van Persie got in the way of a Spur pass, the ball bounced to Cesc Fabregas who ran pass the entire Tottenham squad with some amazing tricks and flicks, and he slammed in 2-0!
Two amazing goals in the same minute, you can say that we won the game in 11 seconds!! But Bendtner got a injury in the first half and was replaced by Eduardo, not really a bad replacer but still sad for Bendtner who started the game really well.

After the halftime we slowed things down and had some great chances, Tottenham were really slow and I belive they only got one shot at goal during the entire game, while we were extremely dangerous.
And 3-0 wasn't far away, and that was a pretty interesting one, Eduardo went down on the right side with the ball, and Sagna picked the ball up to keep the attack alive, but everybody stopped playing, looking at the referee, but Mark Clattenburg chose to play advantage and then the pace was back on, Sagna played in to van Persie, who received and delivered!

And after this win we really are the top dogs in North London!
