PREVIOUS MEETING

September 27, 2014 (Premier League)

Arsenal 1 – 1 Spurs (Oxlade-Chamberlain 74, Chadli 54)

The Gunners fought back to rescue a point in a frantic north London derby.

Arsenal dominated the possession and created the better chances, but it was Spurs who broke the deadlock in the 54^th minute thanks to Nacer Chadli. Mathieu Flamini was dispossessed just outside the box by Christian Eriksen, who put Chadli through to put the visitors ahead.

Arsenal came out in the second-half the way they played in the first 45, dominating possession and pushing forward to get back in the game. They were rewarded in the 74^th minute after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hammered home a rebound.

Arsene Wenger urged his men to push forward in attempt to bag a winner but were unlucky not to claim bragging rights. Spurs held on and the spoils were shared.
