Denied at the death

What a North London Derby. The Gunners were all over Spurs, dominated through and through….went behind, equalise, took the lead and the match ended all square with a last-gasp equalizer by the inept Spurs team.

Firstly, the offside given against Ljungberg was definitely dubious. I thought the Swede's neat flick to Adebayor and the strike, itself was superb. The game soon swung to Arsenal’s favour once Fabregas came on for the injured Ljungberg. The Cesc changed the course of the game and Arsenal were in cruise control thereafter.

Arsenal’s first goal came from Kolo Toure, he was quick to pounce when the Tottenham defence went static. Arsenal’s second was from the hardworking Adebayor. He climbed high above everyone to head past Robinson.

All I can say is that Spurs were lucky to escape with a 2-2 draw and avoided a defeat in front of their long suffering fans. My guess is that Martin Jol must have heave a sigh of relief... his team were lucky.
