00:00Makes it difficult here, deflected off Tony Adams and he and Sally was always stretching but at the end it was a very important touch and he missed it, Gazelle was in.
00:13Here's Anderton who's great with the crosses normally, that wasn't such a good one.
00:22Kerslake, Tottenham playing some nice stuff on a broad canvas.
00:30Lovely goal from David Kerslake.
00:36Bold didn't win it, Gazelle did.
00:40I mean everybody now knows I think what Arsenal are going to try because they scored two goals like this against Newcastle in the home win the other Saturday.
00:50Merson, again it doesn't reach Bold because it was Anderton back there.
01:00Samways measures it nicely for Darren Anderton, good control, nice football, Gazelle.
01:08Kerslake is wide.
01:12That was missed importantly by Keown and in the end Seaman had to rescue that defence.
01:17Control it, right looks for the shot.
01:24This is Dixon.
01:27Merson had made a run forward.
01:28With a chance to give Tottenham the lead and he's done it.
01:37Darren Anderton puts Tottenham Hotspur ahead with his fourth goal of the season and wasn't that composure itself from the youngster.
01:47Magnificent finish but he owes such a lot to two people.
01:52Hazard and Gazelle.
01:54Because the flick from Gazelle sets him free.
01:57And Tony Adams never looked like catching him.
02:00And when you need composure, when you need confidence, they had both.
02:05And he gives this side, well what I think is a deserved lead, I really do.
02:11Look at the way he's striding following.
02:14Tony Adams is never going to catch him, is he?
02:17Doesn't get near enough.
02:19And he chooses his moment brilliantly.
02:22He just, he didn't take it too wide either, did he?
02:27Darren, well to get his body there Alan Smith.
02:30Holderwood is across though.
02:31The decision is a goal kick.
02:37Let's have a look at that Tottenham goal Ian.
02:40Because Watch has a look how composed he is.
02:42Now he looks up and he plays a ball that favours to Zell.
02:46Now that's a death flick, it had to be so accurate.
02:49But look at the way Anderson, Anderton drifts away on the angle.
02:53Not allowing Adams to catch him.
02:57And that was a key to it when Anderton picked the ball up.
02:59Currently buoyant Spurs come forward again with Samways.
03:06Now Hazard.
03:08Edinburgh had made a run forward.
03:09It still might drop here.
03:10To Zell.
03:12Bold gets it away.
03:13Anderton picks it up.
03:15Lovely skill from him.
03:16Anderton again.
03:17Well he's on a roll Darren Anderton.
03:21He got a late equaliser against Leeds for Spurs.
03:25He got a late equaliser against Queen's Park Rangers.
03:28Imagine which he missed a penalty.
03:30And now he scored against Arsenal.
03:31In a gain here for Kasky.
03:36Hazard.
03:38And for once, I think it's about the first pass I can recall from Hazard.
03:42He's gone astray.
03:44In a gain for Kasky.
03:46And this time it's wide.
03:47It's wide.
03:49Well that's incredible.
03:51Absolutely incredible.
03:53Two crosses and I think Darren Kasky will believe he should have scored on both of them.
03:58Saul Campbell's cross here.
04:01Real quality.
04:03And I don't know whether he commits himself too late Kasky.
04:07He seems to go past him.
04:08Then he's in the net.
04:09But it's from here.
04:10He gets up.
04:11Comes out the goal.
04:13And gets ready for the other cross.
04:17There you see him get up.
04:18And as he gets himself out there.
04:20Gets himself for that one.
04:22Three inches away.
04:24From a two goal lead.
04:25He was odds on both times as well.
04:30Still with a bandage on that wrist that he broke.
04:34Anderton's pulled wide.
04:37There goes the cross.
04:38But it's behind this time.
04:43Anderton.
04:44Campbell has got forward.
04:47Shelley had to cut that out because Kasky was in behind him.
04:50And he's lost it here.
04:51And a chance for Spurs.
04:52And Jeff past the post.
04:53From Dezel.
04:54And Seaman got a touch to that for the corner.
04:58That's a great save from David Seaman.
04:59It really was.
05:02Kasky long towards Campbell and behind.
05:05But goodness me.
05:08Arsenal are dicing with death once or twice at the back.
05:11Not half.
05:12Ian Sealy will be a pretty relieved man.
05:14Gets caught here.
05:15Gazelle wins it back.
05:17Sandwich is bending it in that bottom corner.
05:20What a save from David Seaman.
05:22Real quality.
05:24And Tor Sved couldn't take a chance on where that might have been heading.
05:31Certainly from our angle this looks as if it's always going past.
05:35But you're right.
05:36Go keepers can't assume things.
05:38Go is aimed towards Bold.
05:40Doesn't reach him again.
05:42They've blocked that little avenue.
05:44So far.
05:45Tottenham.
05:47And they do stress so far.
05:49Dixon did well there.
05:50Essentially had to reach it.
05:52Anderton's got to get it away and does.
05:54Hamways has made a forward run.
05:55Kerslake's going all the way.
05:58He's a very, very ambitious defender.
06:02With pace and an eye for goal.
06:04Got to meet his main dot.
06:06Dated by Spurs.
06:08Will Arsenal grab a lifeline here?
06:13Nersen chips it up.
06:15Didn't chip it high enough.
06:16It was Sedgley.
06:17In fact we've got it away.
06:18The flag's up anyway now.
06:19And the danger's over for Spurs.
06:21And it's the last action of a first half.
06:24In which Spurs.
06:25Played some elegant and graceful football.
06:28And.
06:29Nersen.
06:30Going to try.
06:31To bend one wickedly.
06:35Now he chips it up.
06:37Bold was in there.
06:39Farfaselli.
06:40And away by Drizel.
06:41Back defending.
06:47Smith on.
06:48Wright's in there.
06:50And a goal kick.
06:52Well there's a little snip.
06:53And his vision was lovely.
06:54He's found Kerslake in this face.
07:03Sam ways once again.
07:05Caskey.
07:07Away by Steve Bold.
07:09Only for Drizel.
07:10Rikki Hazard.
07:13Spent so long in the shadow of Glenn Hoddle.
07:17During his earlier spell at Tottenham Hotspur.
07:20An Arsenal goal.
07:21Would change the mood here entirely.
07:24Limpar delivers.
07:26Again.
07:27No flick on the near post.
07:28But another chance for Limpar.
07:29There seemed to be a push on Campbell.
07:32There was by Tony Adams.
07:34Wright.
07:38Smith's in the middle.
07:39So it's Dixon.
07:40And Calderwood.
07:41Got an important head to that.
07:42Only to Keown.
07:43And the linesman is flagging away furiously.
07:52For a Spurs free kick.
07:54His first touch let him down.
07:55And the chance disappeared really from that moment.
07:58I wonder if Ian Wright was surprised.
08:00In receiving the pass in the first place.
08:03Because my first thought was Limpar's going to take a touch on this.
08:07And just drive towards goal.
08:09Just seeing a thought.
08:11In front of him.
08:12Even first time.
08:13Hit it.
08:14But whether he took Ian Wright a little bit by surprise.
08:17Because his first touch doesn't often let him down.
08:20Still Merson.
08:22And too high for Smith.
08:25But this is Arsenal's best spell.
08:29Limpar.
08:31Turning like an eel.
08:34Jensen.
08:39Sully.
08:40Loses it to Campbell.
08:43Kasky's in support.
08:45Campbell.
08:47Just takes it into a corner.
08:49Waits for support to arrive.
08:50He did that quite well.
08:51Samways lends that support.
08:54Dixon is dragged off by Gary Lewin.
08:57For some treatment.
08:59They got fed up with waiting for the ball to go out of play.
09:01It still hasn't either.
09:03Edinburgh.
09:07Offside.
09:08And Edinburgh keeps it in play.
09:09Tukaski to Campbell.
09:10Two youngsters combining.
09:11And a good challenge by Lozal allows Campbell now to run.
09:20Samways is in the middle.
09:22Here's Sol Campbell.
09:23He struck it very, very well indeed.
09:26But the angle was tough with a goal.
09:32He's done it again.
09:34Ian Wright with his 19th goal of the season.
09:39And Arsenal are level.
09:40Give him a chance.
09:41And he'll give you a goal.
09:43Well we warned you.
09:44We said you cannot allow him half a chance.
09:49And that is what he's capable of.
09:51Don't believe this is an easy chance.
09:54It's on his weaker side.
09:55He's left.
09:56He has to take a stretch for Lee.
09:58Look at the way he's stretching for it.
10:00But look at the quality of the finish.
10:03Absolutely superb.
10:05Good awareness from Limpa.
10:07Plays it in behind Calderwood who's then struggling.
10:10Kerslake's not round.
10:12And the rest is pure Ian Wright.
10:17It's 1-1 now.
10:19And Arsenal may sense that they can go on
10:22and snatch this having been,
10:24well, to be honest with you,
10:26pretty much outplayed in the first half.
10:28But here's Anderton with other ideas for Spurs.
10:32Oh, he fed it inside.
10:33De Salva's in the middle waiting, hoping.
10:36And it's not right to connect strangely.
10:39You can see he wanted to connect with the first one.
10:41It's Limpa who's been pushed up in a more advanced role.
10:45Now, does he hit that cleanly?
10:47Does it spin off his foot?
10:48I don't think anyone cares.
10:49All we know is it's in the back of the net
10:52and he finished it with great quality.
10:56Well, there's not an Arsenal.
10:57And offside against Justin Edinburgh who'd come forward.
11:07Good save to Eric Torsford.
11:08Didn't know he was offside.
11:10The big keeper did ever so well.
11:13Another look at it here.
11:14They hold the line very well.
11:17Particularly David Kerslake then,
11:19who may have been tempted to go in.
11:21And I think we saw there.
11:23There was one or two dodgy offsides today,
11:25but that one, life was spot on.
11:27Hendry is the man in the middle for them.
11:30And Adams with the interception.
11:33He was a little bit far away, John Hendry.
11:35I think I am.
11:37Now, Limpar.
11:40What twists and turns in the plot to come, you wonder.
11:46And Jensen.
11:48Well, if you don't.
11:49And that'll be in the players' minds.
11:51Up goes Adams.
11:54Oh dear, oh dear.
11:55Well, he destroyed them at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final.
11:59And he had similar dastardly thoughts in his mind here.
12:02Well, and he climbs all over Sedgley.
12:05For a moment you think that's going to drop in.
12:07But I think we have to give Torswet credit.
12:10He looked like he picked up the flight of the goalkeeper.
12:13And said, that's never going in.
12:16A matter of inches.
12:19The header was from Sedgley.
12:21And well held by Seaman.
12:22And he's measured it for Wright.
12:23Are Arsenal going to steal this late?
12:37Campbell was in there.
12:40But Torswet was down.
12:42And Spurs and their fans breathe again.
12:45Is that?
12:47The final whistle.
12:49Ian Wright saves the point for Arsenal in the second half.
12:52And there were times when they looked as if they might snatch it.
12:56But overall, considering Spurs' silky domination of the first half.
13:01Which produced a goal by Darren Anderton.
13:03I think you'd say Andy, that was the right result.
13:06I think so.
13:07Both managers will probably think they could have won it.
