Post Match Reaction: Tottenham Hotspur (H)

A truly stunning North London derby saw us emerge victorious in game that will go down as a serious contender for match of the season.

Positives:
If ever there was a game to take positives from, this stunning match was it! After such a tough tough time recently, it felt like the world was against us. The media were ludicrously labelled Tottenham as favourites, but today we proved our worth. Two goals down, our mental strength was there for all to see. A truly stunning comeback, spurred on by the rowdy Emirates crowd, Van Persie's goal truly class and even Theo got in on the act!

Negatives:
It feels hard to criticise after such a wonderful performance, but after such a bad start, we made life harder for ourselves than it needed to be.

Conclusion:
Despite Louis Saha's lucky deflected effort, and Gareth Bale's utterly disgusting dive for Tottenham's penalty, the comeback we showed, led by goalscorer Tomas Rosicky, was breathtaking! With Chelsea and Man Utd to play in coming weeks, Spurs grip on 3rd is faultering and we know it. Let's push on and put them back where they belong!
