Arsenal vs. Tottenham match report

Arsenal 1-1 Tottenham


Arsenal:Walcott 80
Tottenham:Jenas 37

I think the result is quite fair for both teams;Spurs dominated the game at first-half and we pressed back at second-half,though we didn't really manage to create some chances to score.

In fact,I think we had only one chance to score and thats where the equalizer came from.

Players

I'm quite surprised that Persie played first,instead of Dudu.Persie didn't really managed to break through Tottenham's tight defending and in fact,the whole team can't really dominate the game.

Persie was substituted by Dudu at 2nd-half,and Djourou was substituted by Sagna at the same time.But we already down 1-0 that time.

The Game

We can't create enough chances to score,I think we only created only one pure chances to score and thats where our goal came from.

We had to pay the price of playing our 2nd team midfielder.We somehow get bullied by more experienced players and we were controlled from the 10th minute onwards till the 1st half break.

I'm not saying that we should not play our youngsters in this game.In fact,this is a very good chance for them to see how typical EPL team could be.

Tottenham too created far more chances than we did but thankfully we defended it quite well and the luck was in our hands again.Their finishing was average.
