Arsenal 2-3 Tottenham Hotspur ( Samir Nasri, Marouane Chamakh/ Gareth Bale, Rafael Van der Vaart penalty, Younes Kaboul)
Tottenham claim a stunning comeback win over arch rivals Arsenal in the North London derby on November 20, 2010.
Arsenal dominated the first half and lead 2-0 at half time, but Harry Redknapp’s decision to bring on Jermain Defoe for winger Aaron Lennon proved to be a tactical masterstroke as Spurs clawed their way back from 2-0 down to win 3-2.
Rafael van der Vaart had a poor first half but his impact on the game for Spurs was unquestionable. He set up the first and third and scored the second.
