GUNNERS SHOOT COCKERELS

Spurs were the receivers of a very fine Christmas present today when Everton handed out the "Toffees" as Son, Kane and co scored 6, winning by 4 goals. It looked a good game as Walcott (an old gunner) put the home team ahead. Then it went 1-4 as Tottenham got to grips and then 2-4 and 2-5 and 2-6.
Don't forget this match:

On December 23rd 1978, Arsenal were the big scorers winning 5-0 at White Hart Lane, as the Spurs could not find anything to match Alan Sunderland's hat trick. 42,000 watched this First Division match and Sunderland became the first Gunner to score a hat trick against Spurs since Ted Drake (below) scored 3 on October 20th 1934.  70,000+ witnessed this 5-1 hammering.

On March 6th 1935 Arsenal repeated the beating with a 6-0 win at White Hart Lane. Drake managed a brace. They didn't play each again until 1949 in the FA Cup-the Gunners won that too.

On 23 December 1978 Arsenal recorded a winning 0-5 at White Hart Lane.
Later in the season on April 10th 1979, Arsenal won the return league match 1-0.....dull.

The first meeting between the clubs was on November 9th 1896 in the United League when Woolwich Arsenal beat Tottenham 2-1 at the Manor Ground, Plumstead. Crowd unknown!
Overall record between the North London clubs is:
Tottenham won 64 Drawn 51 Arsenal 82
