Tottenham 2 Arsenal 2


Once again, not on FSC, so it was tracking it down via GameCast again (aided by the commentary on the BigSoccer boards).


Spurs grab a late equalizer to tie the Arse-holes with a lovely goal from Jermaine Jenas that sliced through the Arsenal defense into the right corner beyond a diving Jens Lehmann seconds before the final whistle. Once again, as with the classic West Ham match, the play continued a bit past the announced stoppage time, to the dismay of many Arsenal fans.


Spurs grab the lead with Robbie Keane midway through the first half, but the visitors struck back in the second half with a pair from Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor, sending most everyone at White Hart Lane (and yours truly here) into a state of depression. There won't be anybody really thrilled with the draw, especially the Arse, but I've always heard that you gotta keep playing until the final whistle. Fact. :)


I can already hear Arsene Wenger bemoaning the fact that "Zee better team did not win today. We created more chances, and were more dangerous on zee offensive side", or words to that effect. What a wanker.
