It was an early birthday present for mad redo1.
Though he arrived just in time to witness Manu Adebayor tapping in to put Sp*rs a goal up. Then he watched in delight as the former Gunner was flashed the red card for an open stud tackle on Santo Cazorla eight minutes after the goal.
Then came the moment he had been waiting for ever since the BFG joined Arsenal last season. Per Mertesacker's looping header levelled things up from a Theo Walcott cross.
Two minutes to the interval Lukas Podolski put the home side ahead, courtesy of another former Gunner William Gallas as the German's shot was deflected past Hugo Lloris.
Then persistent play in injury time at the end of the first half by Cazorla gave him the space for him to deliver the ball for Olivier Giroud to attack. The French international connected well to divert the ball past his team-mate in the French squad.
Then on the hour mark, Cazorla capped a fine performance with a simple finish after The Gunners had built from the back. With nineteen minutes to go, Gareth Bale pulled one back.
At 4-2 not many Gooners could seat easy as it had happened before, only for the points to be shared in the end. However, Walcott's strike as the match went into stoppage time certainly gave many Gooners the relief they were looking for.
At the same time repeated the same scoreline last season.
