Play by play

  1. 90'

    That's it for this game. Arsenal have shocked Spurs in the North London derby. Some pride restored for the Gunners.

  2. 90'

    Two goals for the much-maligned Walcott. Terrible first-half, much better in the second.

  3. 90'

    Tottenham stay in third. Eight points off Manchester United, seven points ahead of Arsenal and Chelsea.

  5. 90'

    Chance for Van Persie at the other end, well blocked by Kaboul.

    Bale goes on a run, looking to restore some pride. But, his cross is overhit and runs to Szczesny.

  7. 90'

    Spurs are desperate for the whistle, but they have three minutes to play. Arsenal set to end the day in fourth with this victory.

  8. 89'

    Sagna's turn to try a hit and hope at goal. Predictably, it is well over.

  11. 86'

    Arsenal look to counter quickly again with Van Persie, but his pass is overhit and gives Rosicky no chance.

  12. 84'

    Vermaelen catches Van der Vaart, but there is no card for the Belgian. Tottenham just hoping to get this game over with now.

  13. 83'

    Szczesny is quick off his line to claim the ball at the feet of Scott Parker. Good stuff from the keeper.

  16. 80'

    Van der Vaart plays in Parker, but Jenkinson does brilliantly to outmuscle the England man and win the ball.

  17. 78'

    Tottenham win a corner, but take it quickly and waste it. Van der Vaart claims hand-ball, but no-one else shows interest.

  18. 77'

    Now it is Parker's turn to fire over from 30 yards. Desperation time for Spurs.

  19. 76'

    Rosicky and Walcott play a lovely one-two in the area, but Rosicky guides his shot just wide of the post.

  20. 74'

    Bale tries to score from 30 yards, but his curled effort is well over.

  21. 73'

    Van Persie runs at the Spurs defence and they back-off more and more, but the Dutchman tries to be too clever and loses the ball.

  22. 72'

    The corner is cleared, but from the second-ball a chance falls to Sandro outside the area. A left-footed effort is deflected, but straight to Szczesny.

  23. 71'

    Bale fires in a low cross from the right, aimed at Sandro. But, it goes behind for a corner.

  24. 70'

    Tottenham have been dire second-half. Now, Adebayor gives away a needless free-kick. Arsenal are running riot.

  25. 69'

    What must Harry be thinking?
