Due to the century-old rivalry between Tottenham and Arsenal, as well as the always hot scene of the north London derby, and the fact that the two teams are now at the top and third of the table respectively, this game has naturally become the focus of this round of the Premier League and has attracted the attention of countless fans!

That's why Sky TV sent their golden pairing, Andy Gray and Martin Taylor, to cover the much-anticipated North London derby!

"Good evening friends, it's up to the two of us to explain the north London derby today!" Andy Gray and his partner Martin Taylor are unlikely to be unfamiliar with the two teams as they have commented on Tottenham and Arsenal many times before, "It's a game worth six points for Nelson and Arsene Wenger." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIf Tottenham win this derby, then they can continue to dominate the table and throw Arsenal eight points away, and if Arsenal win this round, then they can close the gap to the top of the table to two points!

"Let me start with the starting line-ups of both teams for this game. Andy Gray just finished talking about the pre-match situation of the two teams, and Martin Taylor immediately took over the conversation to avoid a cold situation in the live broadcast room, "On the Arsenal side, since Wenger's goal is to win all three points, then the professor naturally has no reason to hide the main force or deliberately hide - goalkeeper Lehmann, the four defenders from left to right are Ashley Cole, Sigan, Kolo Toure and Lauren, Vieira and Cesc Fabregas partner in the back, Reyes, Bergkamp and Ljungberg lined up in a row, delivering cannonballs to King Highbury and waiting for an opportunity to score, while Henry was a one-man arrow up front!"

Arsene Wenger put Sigan and Cesc Fabregas in the starting line-up to replace Campbell and Gilberto Silva, who were out injured. Overall, however, the injuries of these two big players still cast a shadow over Arsenal. Andy Gray spoke his mind. Obviously, the ace commentator is not optimistic about Arsenal's prospects in this north London derby, "Although Cesc Fabregas is indeed amazingly talented, and has played quite well in several games for Arsenal, and has also greatly enriched Arsenal's attacking routine, he and Sigan's defensive ability is not at the level of Gilberto and Campbell. So in this game, they are likely to be targeted by Tottenham as a defensive hole. If Arsene Wenger doesn't take precautions, then Arsenal are likely to suffer a big loss in this regard. ”

"Now on Tottenham, Coach Nelson fielded his best 4-3-3 formation today. As Andy Gray commented on Arsenal's squad, Martin Taylor continued, "The goalkeeper is Petr Cech, the Czech international who still holds an astonishing record of clean sheets in the Premier League this season. I don't know if he can continue this record against Arsenal's strongest attacking line in the Premier League today. At the back, Patrice Evra and Stephen Carr split up, with Nemanja Vidic and Ledley King partnering in central defence, and the quartet joined Mascherano as a lone midfielder to form a formidable wall of steel in front of the Czechs. In midfield, the iron triangle of Xavi Alonso, Basturk and Mascherano unsurprisingly made the starting line-up. In front of them is the attacking trident of Arjen Robben, Didier Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo!"

Tottenham did not have a single key player absent in the north London derby, and in this regard, they were obviously much luckier than Arsenal, who lost Campbell and Gilberto before the game.

After the start of the game, Tottenham, who won the right to kick off, took the lead in attacking, intending to take advantage of the home advantage to establish a wave of advantage, so as to bring the initiative of the game into their control, while Arsenal, who lacked Campbell to sit in the defence, took the initiative to shrink the formation after the opening, as if intending to lure Tottenham to press the formation so that they could take advantage of Henry's speed to threaten Tottenham's goal!

Although it is inevitable that abandoning the attacking football that has always been insisted on is a bit inferior, it has to be said that Wenger's hand arrangement has indeed achieved good results. After switching to defensive counter-attack, under the defense of Vieira and others at all costs, Sigan, the biggest weakness of the Arsenal defence, was well covered. Even if Drogba and others managed to break through Sigan's defensive zone, it was difficult to get enough space to make shots. And Arsenal's side can play a wave of counterattacks after defending against Tottenham's attack, giving full play to Henry's speed advantage!

In the 29th minute, Alonso's through ball to Drogba was cut off by Vieira, and Arsenal immediately launched a quick counter-attack. Xiaofa's pass accurately found Henry, who was pulled to the left side, and King Highbury received the ball and accelerated to the Tottenham penalty area, only to be brought to the ground by Mascherano who returned in time before entering the box!

Seeing Mascherano tripped Thierry Henry, Bennett immediately awarded Arsenal a direct free-kick in a good position, but he did not give Mascherano a yellow card. In Bennett's view, Henry didn't have an absolute chance to score (with Nemanja Vidic and Ledley King in front of him) and Mascherano's foul was not serious, so there was no need to show him another yellow card.

However, just as Cech was directing his teammates to set up the human wall, Henry, who was already in position, took advantage of everyone's attention to the human wall to suddenly get up and shoot the ball directly into the unguarded gate!

Henry's shot caught everyone off guard. No one thought that Henry would break the convention on such an occasion to carry out a surprise attack, without waiting for the referee's whistle, and directly hit the goal while the opposing players were still arranging the human wall!

And the next development is even more shocking, because at this time, Bennett, who was the referee of the north London derby, did not award Henry for a free kick as expected by the Tottenham players, but pointed to the center circle of the pitch under the surprised gaze of the Tottenham players and fans at the scene, indicating that Henry's direct free kick was valid, and Arsenal led by one goal!

In the 29th minute of the game, with an unexpected free kick sneak attack, Arsenal temporarily led Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at White Hart Lane Stadium and took the lead in this derby!

Tell me, what's going on?, seeing Bennett's gesture, all the Tottenham players had a capital letter on their faces. They couldn't figure out how Henry's goal was recognized as valid by Bennett!

In this way, with Thierry Henry's sneak goal declared valid by Bennett, Tottenham temporarily trailed Arsenal by one goal in this north London derby. And the league record held by Petr Cech for a consecutive clean sheet in the league was finally fixed on the regrettable number of 1399 minutes!
