In 1991, Gazza took a free kick.
In a nutshell, Paul Gascoigne is audacious, ridiculous, and totally outrageous.
This was a fantastic way to open the FA Cup semifinal.

2002: Thierry Henry scores and celebrates.
The heroics of Thierry Henry in 2002 have been memorialized in the form of a statue outside the Emirates, highlighting how significant this match is to both clubs.
Henry’s goal is still regarded as one of the best in derby history, and his celebration is still recognizable.
Arsenal defeated Spurs 3-0 at Highbury on OTD in 2002.
the day Thierry Henry scored one of the greatest solo goals in Premier League history.
Afterward, they ran the entire length of the field once more to celebrate in front of the Spurs away end.

Nine-goal nonsense from 2004.
According to what is said, Premier League football is the best. The best players and tacticians square off against one another, with the first to falter being given the boot.
We occasionally witness a complete disregard for these principles, though.
Just a desire for madness and the pursuit of numerous goals, with no real commitment to defense.
A good value for that is frequently found in the North London Derby.
At White Hart Lane, Arsenal defeated Tottenham 5-4 on this day in 2004.

Crowning the Invincibles in 2004.
Although the 2003–04 Arsenal league season couldn’t have gone much better, the Gunners winning the championship at Tottenham was pretty ideal for the red half of North London.
Even Spurs supporters might be able to smile ruefully as they leave the stadium after witnessing their team come back from 2-0 down to tie the game on Robbie Keane’s penalty kick in stoppage time.
But Arsenal owned the day and the entire season.

The year 2008 brought about David Bentley’s wonder goal.
This is the first thing that comes to mind when you say the name “David Bentley.”.
Even though the midfielder didn’t perform to his full potential at Tottenham, his best moment was still quite spectacular.
A ridiculous derby that ended 4-4 after Spurs rallied from 3-1 and then 4-2 down was started by Bentley’s ridiculous opening goal.
Absolutely stunning, I thought.

Worth the wait – 2008.
Tottenham only lost to their ferocious rivals once between November 1999 and January 2008.
But when it came time to play, in the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals, Spurs couldn’t have been more convincing, winning 5-1 in a match that saw Nicklas Bendtner collide with teammate William Gallas.

One of the best Spurs outcomes in recent memory.

In 2009, Cesc Fabregas embarked on a solo mission.
By October 2009, Tottenham had started to put their act together, but Cesc Fabregas wasn’t about to let Arsenal’s dominance slip through his team’s fingers.
The future World Cup winner opened the scoring for the Gunners immediately after the game began as they defeated them 3-0, forcing the entire Spurs defense to consider an early retirement.
The match in North London is in four days.
Recall how Cesc Fabregas left Tottenham in 2009.
The best Arsenal player to ever play at the Emirates.

2010 marked the start of Danny Rose’s career.
Your Premier League debut is imminent.
You are 19 years old.
It is a North London Derby.
You can win the game with a clear conscience if you just keep things straightforward and avoid making any mistakes.
Or you could just score the game-winning goal after 10 minutes.
That will also work.
The best time Danny Rose had while wearing a thfc jersey.
What an impressive debut.

An unlikely hero, 2010.
Even after Spurs resumed beating Arsenal, they had trouble winning in their adversaries’ own stadium until 2010.
With the help of the attacking brilliance of Rafael van der Vaart and Gareth Bale, they overcame a 2-0 deficit to snap a 17-year winless streak against the Gunners.
And yet the winning idea came from Younes Kaboul.
DerbyDay | Tottenham Hotspur pulled off an incredible comeback to defeat Arsenal and end the Gunners’ chances of taking the Premier League’s top spot.
Younes Kaboul scored the game-winning goal for Spurs in overtime along with Rafael Van Der Vaart and Gareth Bale.

– 2014 What’s the score, Theo?
Derbies have an odd effect on people.
In 2014, even Theo Walcott, the calmest, most sensible, and least controversial football player in the sport’s history, performed admirably
In response to jeers from the Spurs supporters as he was being carried off with what would ultimately prove to be a season-ending knee injury, Walcott simply stated the score: 2-0.
Okay, I get it.
As he is being carried off on a stretcher, Walcott gestures “2-0” to the Spurs supporters.

2016 is a member of our own.
Harry Kane’s status as “one of our own” will always be divisive in North London, but the striker rose to legendary status in derbies.
One of the highlights of his 2015–16 season was his goal at White Hart Lane.
Remember when Harry Kane did this against Arsenal?
