Arsenal produced a storming second-half comeback to beat Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Saturday and extend Arsène Wenger’s incredible run against their near-neighbours.

The Frenchman went into this game with a stunning record of P25 W12 D12 L1 but that looked under serious threat this afternoon when, in the 15th minute, Gareth Bale’s curling free-kick beat Manuel Almunia at his near post.

Two Arsenal goals in 15 minutes turned this scintillating game on it's head. Just past the hour, Adebayor headed in a left-wing free-kick from Fabregas. The next strike was all the Spaniard’s own work — a long-range piledriver 10 minutes from the whistle. Then, in extra time, Adebayor added a wonderful third when he volleyed home from the edge of the area.

It was an incredible turnaround, and just to make the day complete, the three points sent Arsenal top of the Premiership.
