Tottenham Hotspur Vs. Arsenal: Rafael Van Der Vaart Levels For Hosts

Yep, there's our goal. We hadn't had a penalty yet, so Wojciech Szczesny decides to make things even more interesting by taking down Aaron Lennon as the substitute went a-racing into the Arsenal area down the left. Bacary Sagna's whereabouts are when Lennon was making that run are unknown, and that left Szczesny but with little choice but to cut down the little winger and give away a stonewall penalty in the process. Rafael van der Vaart stepped up to crash it home, leveling the scores at White Hart Lane.

So, it's now Tottenham Hotspur 3-3 Arsenal, although the Gunners have attempted to mount a rather interesting reply with Heurelhio Gomes called into action a couple of times and making at least one brilliant save since the equaliser. There are about fifteen minutes left for one of these teams to find the winner they both need. The draw does nobody any good, so they'll both be going for it.
