Tottenham: Five memorable North London derby matches

Spurs come back from a two goal deficit to win at Emirates Stadium
Tottenham showed a lot of fight back when the club visited Emirates Stadium in November 2010.
Goals from Samir Nasri and Marouane Chamakh gave Arsenal an early 2-0 lead.
It looked as if Spurs were down and out. Instead, they staged an impressive comeback which left the home side reeling.
Gareth Bale got things started with a goal in the 50th minute. Down 2-1, it was game on for Tottenham.
Cesc Fabregas gave away a goal 17 minutes later. Who knows why, but the Spaniard raised his arm when blocking a free kick from Rafael van der Vaart. A penalty was given and the Dutch midfielder slotted home to draw his side level.
The fightback was complete when defender Younes Kaboul headed home with five minutes remaining on the clock.
It was Tottenham’s first defeat of Arsenal away from home in 17 years.
