1) Arsenal 4-4 Tottenham Hotspur – October 2008

AFC 4-4

The third North London Derby at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League played host to an epic eight-goal thriller.

It all started well for Spurs as David Bentley somehow managed to score from near the half-way line, but goals from Mikael Silvestre and William Gallas turned the game on it’s head.

Emmanuel Adebayor then made it 3-1 before Darren Bent pulled one back for Tottenham. However, just minutes later, the two-goal lead was restored thanks to Robin Van Persie.

The game hit the 89th minute mark so it looked all over with the score at 4-2, but oh no, Spurs struck two late goals and went home with a point.

Jermaine Jenas made it 4-3 in the 89th minute before Aaron Lennon made it 4-4 in stoppage time.

An epic game and truly memorable.
