They made a flying start to the match, racing into a two-goal lead, but Tottenham managed to pull a goal back and secure a draw with a stoppage-time penalty from Robbie Keane. Arsenal left the stadium amidst dangerous incidents, with a brick thrown at their bus, narrowly missing Dennis Bergkamp.
Arsenal’s on-pitch celebrations further aggravated the baying home crowd, despite being asked by Arsene Wenger not to celebrate. Thierry Henry initially had no plans to celebrate, but a change of heart came when he witnessed Tottenham’s Mauricio Taricco celebrating a draw.
This led to Henry deciding to celebrate, despite the potential chaos it could cause. The intense rivalry between the two clubs was evident in the post-match incidents, with both sets of fans displaying strong emotions.
The history of this iconic north London derby continues to fuel the competitive spirit between the teams.
