Arsenal's XI that beat fierce rivals Tottenham in 5-4 thriller - and where they are now

Not many meetings between these two sides have proven that to be the case more than the iconic 5-4 thriller played out at White Hart Lane on this day 18 years ago. It was a topsy-turvy affair that saw Noureddine Naybet put the hosts in front, before Gunners legend Thierry Henry levelled things up.
