Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla has revealed that his most cherished moment in English football so far, was when his side thrashed Tottenham in the North London derby at the Emirates Stadium.
The scoreline had a familiar ring to it as it was once again 5-2 to the home team, much like it was in the previous season.
Goals from Per Mertesacker, Olivier Giroud, Lukas Podolski, Santi Cazorla and Theo Walcott gave Arsene Wenger’s men the three points over their rivals and Cazorla has admitted that it has been his best moment in England so far.
“The best memory that I have in the Premier League, my best game in the competition, was the derby at home against Tottenham,” he told Arsenal.com.
“It was a very good result for us, I scored a goal and the atmosphere that day was amazing. The return leg was not so good [Arsenal lost 2-1 at White Hart Lane] but overall they are very special games.
“Tottenham are always in the running to get into the Champions League, to improve every year, and they have strengthened their squad quite well, bringing in Roberto [Soldado], Paulinho, Capoue, so they are a very strong side.
“Roberto is a very good player, Tottenham have a great signing in him, and he is showing that with goals.
“It is true that Gareth Bale may be departing, but they are still strong, and so we have to match them because it will mean we are fighting for major goals.”
