Arsenal's Premier League Hopes Now a Dream as They Throw It Away Against Spurs

Mary O'SheaOct 29, 2008

Arsene Wenger looked for extra loud support at the Emirates, and he got it.

However, the vocal supporters were not rewarded on a crazy night at the Emirates.

Spurs took an early lead through a stunning 40-yard volley from ex-Gunner, David Bentley. However, the home side were back on level terms thanks to a 37th minute header from Mikael Silvestre.

The second-half was barely under way when captain William Gallas put Arsenal ahead from a van Persie free-kick.

Things went rather crazy from the 64th-68th minuted as Adebayor put Arsenal 3-1 up, only for Bent to capitalise from an Almunia mistake to make it 3-2. Then within a minute, Arsenal had regained a two goal lead following a clanger in the Spurs back-line as van Persie added his name to the scoresheet.

All looked to be going well for the home side as they stroked the ball around.

That was until the 89th minuted when Jenas scored a peach of a goal that looked like only a consolation for the team at the bottom of the league.

Except it wasn't!

On 90 minutes, Luka Modric fired a left-foot shot from 18 yards out that rattled off the post into the path of Aaron Lennon, who slotted home making it 4-4 to end a crazy night at the Emirates.

After all tonight's events Arsenal are 3rd in the table on goal difference over Aston Villa and Hull but this is certainly not the play you would expect from Champions elect, hence you might as well write the Gunners off, if you haven't all ready done so.

Numerous questions will have to be answered including how Arsenal could thrown away two points in such an awful manner to a team with low morale, and what in the name of God was Wenger thinking replacing the ever threatening Walcott with Eboue?

I certainly have no idea and if you don't mind Mr. Wenger I'll join you in getting "physically sick"!
