#1 FA Cup 3rd round: Arsenal 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur

The two North London clubs have won this competition 18 times between them, and last met in the FA Cup in 2001 when the Gunners defeated Spurs 2-1 in the semi final held at Old Trafford.

This was Tim Sherwood’s first North London Derby as in-charge.

When Tottenham visited the Emirates for the cup game, Arsenal were at the top of the Premier League table & they showed it that night with an emphatic display.

Tim Sherwood’s team arrived with lot of confidence as they had won 2-1 against Manchester United at Old Trafford on New Year’s Eve. But it was Arsenal who had the last laugh as Santi Cazorla's strike in the first half & Tomas Rosicky's goal in the second sealed the game for the Gunners.

The highlight of the game was Theo Walcott’s banter with the Spurs fans.
