Arsenal wins derby

It is the famous London Derby this evening in the emirates Stadium in North London. It was jam packed and the raucous crowd erupted at the referee's whistle. Arsenal dominated the first ten minutes. But later on, till the end its was Tottenham Hotspurs that dominated the game. Two close shaves from Adebayor and Fabregas meant that the scores were level at the halftime with both the sides unable to score a goal.
The second half began briskly with Arsenal taking the lead within ten minutes of the start. Good piece of work from Rosicky, left adbeyor with an open chance which he netted gleefully. From then on, it was Spurs all the way. The put pressure on the Arsenal defence and succeeded in penetrating them. Berbatov shot one past Almunia to make the scores level. Robbie keane missed two easy chances to make them clear winners. His shot flew off the post at the 63rd minute. Couple of minutes after scoring the first goal, Spurs won a penalty due to Gallas' mistake in the D-box. Robbie Keane just shot in the same direction of Almunia, which was saved brilliantly by the Arsenal goal-keeper. Arsene Wenger's substitution in the form of Bendtner, fetched three points for the gunners. The corner from Fabregas was hit perfectly by him and that goal ensured all three points for Arsenal.
