Tottenham Completely Bottle It And Were Lucky Against Arsenal!

Before the game, it was billed as the biggest North London Derby and the pressure on Arsenal to get something from the game was massive. With two poor performances against Manchester United and Swansea City, Arsenal were struggling badly and an in-form Tottenham Hotspur, at White Hart Lane, was the last thing we needed. They did lose to West Ham midweek but prior to that had won 6 Premier League games on the bounce – they were certainly the in-form team going into this match.

But what happened was Tottenham completely bottled it. Playing at home in front of their own supporters, they had the perfect chance to put the final nail in Arsenal’s coffin. And to make matters worse for Arsenal, they gave them a huge helping hand.

Arsenal looked solid for the most part in the first half and took the lead after some excellent play from Danny Welbeck and Hector Bellerin. The Spaniard’s cross found Ramsey inside the box and his back-heel goal was exquisite. Arsenal went into half time 1-0 up and we looked more than comfortable.

But then Tottenham had a ridiculously huge amount of luck as everything went for them and the sequence of events gave the home team the perfect opportunity to not only beat Arsenal but to knock their fiercest rivals out of the title race.

But fortunately for us, Tottenham do what they always do which is lose their bottle when it matters.

Already on a yellow card, Francis Coquelin dived in on Harry Kane and received a second yellow for a late challenge. No arguments about the sending off but it meant we had it all to do with 35 minutes left of the game to play.

Tottenham obviously pushed for a goal and a very very fortunately bounce from a corner found Alderwhatever and he had a tap in from close range.

With Arsenal heads down Tottenham had a perfect chance to kill the game off and a curling effort from Harry Kane put the home side 2-1 up. After that, it was hard to see how Arsenal would get back into this game – 2-1 down against Tottenham away from home, and with only 10 men.

It would have taken a miracle to get anything from this game.

Fortunately, Tottenham do what they do best and bottled it. Alexis Sanchez snatched a hugely important goal on 76 minutes and we had a golden chance to win it when Aaron Ramsey found himself through on goal with seconds remaining. But it wasn’t to be and to get a draw from such a dire situation that we found ourselves in was a huge result for Arsenal.

The positives we can take from this performance and result mean we can definitely overcome Tottenham in the league and see how close we can get to Leicester.

Tottenham on the other hand will have a lot of regrets from the game, ruing a fantastic chance to cement their title credentials and gain vital ground in the title race.

  2. Here are the unbiased stats as per the BBC website

    Spurs Arsenal
    Possession 52% 48%
    Shots 26 10
    on target 11 4
    corners 9 2

    I think its pretty clear who dominated the game, and if you are going to bitch and whine about Coquelin getting sent off and not Dier. What about Bellerin tugging somebody back while on a booking shortly afterward?

    The trouble with you gooners is you are still deluded that you are a big club, But you’ve been treading water, going nowhere under Wenger for years now.

    Your jealous Potch has just come out of the blue with a young exciting team playing great football, with the best defense and best Goal difference in the division.

    We haven’t bottled anything, our form going into this week was 6 straight wins.

    Now kindly jog on and keep believing that charlatan Wenger as he guides to another season of mediocrity

  4. are you the guy who hangs around the local convent with that PAEDO coach of yours preying on ……….of course you are , you perv !!!!!!!!!!!!

     
  5. Too bad you missed the game. It was indeed most enjoyable to watch.
    Tottenham outplayed Arsenal for most of the game but had trouble scoring. full points to Arsenal for pulling even.though they were by far the weaker side for 2/3 of the game.

     
  6. The truth about the match is that Ospina played like he did in the World Cup, ie brilliantly. Ironic that if Cech had played Spurs would probably have won. Lloris on the other hand will be kicking himself – might have saved the first, should have saved the second. Ospina didn’t know much about Lamela’s touch and saved on instinct, brilliantly and was 1mm from conceding from Kane. Arsenal were never going to roll over and play dead like they did at Manure and at home to Swans, even they know they have to turn up for this one. Their passing was good, their tactics were good, but though Spurs’ final ball was a bit off first half, ultimately Arsenal owe it to their keeper. As for sendings off… I guess that Dier didn’t get a red because Giroud waved his elbow in his face, so ref let them both off. The pull on Rose wasn’t quite enough for a second yellow for Bellanin or whatever his name is. All in all a good draw for both sides.

     
  7. Embarrassingly poorly written article. What game where you watching? Looked comfortable? The only controversial decision of the game we were utterly outclassed in was Dyer not being sent off. May I also point out that had that not happened, Bellerin would have also seen red a few minutes later and not been on the pitch to help with the equaliser.

    I have red specs on at the best of times but come on man. Spurs were outclassed and outplayed on Wednesday against West Ham and we were outclassed and outplayed on Saturday. WE were incredibly lucky, not them.

    Please stop writing these pro-Arsenal joke articles as it makes us look silly.

    COYG!

     
  8. This article is written simply to provoke a reaction. Nice try but whilst Assnal continue to let their 25,000 worldwide fans down the rest of us will enjoy how everyone else is talking about how amazing Tottenham are right now.
