Spurs players and fans had been waiting for the rescheduled North London Derby since the original fixture in January. After the Arsenal camp asked for the clash to be postponed, it was a long wait for the match to be played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
In the reverse tie, Mikel Arteta's side came out on top, winning 3-1 in a game that involved a lacklustre performance from the Lilywhites. Thursday night was arguably the biggest North London Derby in years.
Not only do both sides want the bragging rights of beating their north London rivals, but it was also due to the points that were up for grabs. Ahead of the match, Tottenham were four points behind Arsenal but after their 3-0 win, they now sit just a point behind, with two games left to play.
