That goal could be huge (Edit: Or maybe not!) from Theo Walcott, and it's terrible defending from Tottenham Hotspur to let him in. Abou Diaby has the ball in the midfield, but is pressed backwards and has to push a pass to Alex Song. However, the press draws the Spurs midfield out of position, leaving Cesc Fabregas open higher up the pitch. Song finds him with a quick pass, and the captain turns William Gallas, spots Walcott's run, and sends him through on Heurelhio Gomes' goal. It's an easy finish to put the visitors 1-0 ahead.
Tottenham Hotspur Vs. Arsenal: Theo Walcott, Rafael Van Der Vaart Exchange Early Goals
However, that lead lasted all of a minute, after Rafael van der Vaart latched onto a long ball over the top of the Arsenal defence and hit a first time shot past Wojciech Szczesny at his near post despite being put under pressure by Diaby. So that's 1-1, and this game is already crazy. Neat!
