00:00Two goals in the closing minutes helped them beat Spurs 3-1 at Highbury.
00:06A rare event in the Premiership these days.
00:0916 of the 22 players were English, so plenty to view through the rain for Glenn Hoddle.
00:14One of his current England strikers had an early chance to impress,
00:17but Teddy Sheringham wasted the space and the finish.
00:22The speed of an English derby wasn't quite what Arsene Wenger's used to,
00:26but the blood and thunder did bring his team a penalty.
00:28Wilson's second challenge on Bergkamp was penalised.
00:34And Ian Wright scored the penalty.
00:37His sixth goal in North London derbies.
00:42Two minutes later, it was almost 2-0.
00:44Dixon's cross was perfect, but this time Wright was just off target.
00:50On the other side of the half-time break, Wright was in again, thanks to Paul Merson,
00:54but again, the finish wasn't there.
00:58That was the signal for Tottenham to enjoy a purple patch.
01:01Anderton got goal side of the Arsenal defence, but couldn't beat Lukic.
01:05The handbags that followed brought bookings for Vieira and Armstrong.
01:11The Tottenham striker should have made up for that with a goal soon afterwards,
01:14but he too was blocked by Lukic.
01:18Two escapes for Arsenal, but there wasn't to be a third.
01:21Not the cleanest strike by Andy Sinton, but the ball found its way into the net via the post and
01:26the keeper.
01:30It looked to be heading for a one-all draw, but two minutes from time, the stand-in England captain
01:35stepped in to win it.
01:36Tony Adams showing he can score them as well as stop them.
01:392-1 to Arsenal.
01:41And just to rub the noses of their rivals into the hybrid dirt, they scored again in the dying seconds,
01:47this time through Dutchman Dennis Bergkamp.
01:50Arsenal goes second in the table, and for the red half of North London,
01:54more importantly, it's their first win over the old enemy in six attempts.
01:58This is Scott at Sky News.
