Due to the century-old arch rival between Tottenham and Arsenal, the always-hot North London Derby, and the two teams are now ranked in the standings and third place respectively, this game naturally became the focus of this round of the British League, attracting the attention of countless fans!

It is precisely because of this that Sky TV sent their golden combination this time, and Andy Gray and Martin Taylor to explain the highly anticipated North London derby!

"Good evening for all the spectators. Today we will explain this North London derby!" Since we have commented on Tottenham and Arsenal many times before, Andy Gray and his partner Martin Taylor naturally cannot feel unfamiliar with these two teams. "For coach Nelson and Wenger, this is a six-point game. If Tottenham wins this derby, they can continue to take the lead in the standings and leave Arsenal eight points away; if Arsenal wins this round, they can narrow the gap between the points and the list to two points! It can be said that today's North London derby is of great significance to the two teams, Tottenham and Arsenal!"

"I will introduce the lineup of the two teams in this game here." Andy Gray just finished talking about the pre-match situation of the two teams. Martin Taylor immediately took over the topic to avoid a cold situation in the live broadcast room. "Arsenal, since Wenger set the goal to get all three points, the professor naturally has no reason to hide the main force or deliberately hide his weakness - goalkeeper Lehman, four defenders from left to right are Ashley Cole, Sigan, Kroo Toure and Lauren, Vieira and Fabregas are partnered with the midfielder, Reyes, Borgkamp and Rymbell are lined up in one line, responsible for delivering shells to King Hebrey while waiting for an opportunity to score, and Henry's single arrow breaks forward on the front line!"

"Coach Wenger put Sigan and Fabregas on the roster to replace Campbell and Gilberto Silva who were absent due to injury in this game. However, in general, the injury of these two players still cast a shadow on Arsenal." Andy Gray expressed his opinion. Obviously, the ace commentator is not optimistic about the prospects of Arsenal's North London derby. "Although Fabregas is indeed amazing, and he has played this very outstanding move several times in the game, and has greatly enriched Arsenal's offensive routines, his defensive ability and Sigan's defensive ability is not at the level of Gilberto and Campbell. So in this game, they are likely to be targeted by Tottenham as a defensive loophole. If Coach Wenger does not guard against this, then Arsenal is likely to suffer a big loss on this."

"Now let's talk about Tottenham. Coach Nelson sent his best 4-3-3 formation today." Seeing Andy Gray commenting on Arsenal's lineup, Martin Taylor continued to speak, "The goalkeeper is Peter Cech, the Czech goalkeeper currently maintains an amazing record of zero goals conceded in the British League this season. I wonder if he can continue this record against Arsenal's strongest attack line today.

On the top, Evra and Stephen Carl were separated, Vidic and Ridley King were partnering with the central defender. These four players, together with Mascherano, who served as a single midfielder, built an extremely solid steel wall in front of the Czechs. In the midfield, the iron triangle combination of Xavi Alonso, Basturk and Mascherano were unexpectedly put on the roster. In front of them, there was an offensive trident composed of Robben, Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo!”

In this North London derby, no main player was absent for some reason. At this point, they were obviously much luckier than Arsenal, who lost two major players Campbell and Gilberto before the game.

After the game started, Tottenham, who won the right to kick off, took the lead in attacking, intending to use the home advantage to establish an advantage, so as to include the initiative of the game in their control; while Arsenal, who lacked Campbell's defense, took the initiative to shrink the formation after the opening, as if he was planning to lure Tottenham to press the formation so that they could use Henry's advantage to threaten Tottenham's goal!

Although it is inevitable that football has been a bit inferior to others, it has to be said that Wenger's arrangement has indeed achieved good results. After changing to a defensive counterattack, under the defense of Vieira and others, Sigan's biggest weakness in Arsenal's defense was well covered up. Even if Drogba and others successfully broke through Sigan's defense zone, it would be difficult to get enough space to make a shooting move. Arsenal can take advantage of the situation after Tottenham's attack, which fully exerted Henry's advantage!

In the 29th minute of the game, Alonso's straight pass to Drogba was cut off by Vieira, and Arsenal immediately counterattacked quickly. Xiaofa's pass accurately found Henry who was pulled to the left, and King Hebry received the ball and went straight to Tottenham's penalty area. As a result, Mascherano, who was returned to defend in time before entering the penalty area, fell to the ground!

Seeing Mascherano tripping Henry, Bennett immediately awarded Arsenal a very good position to a direct free kick, but he did not give Mascherano a yellow card warning. In Bennett's opinion, Henry did not have an absolute scoring opportunity just now (Vidic and Ridley King are also in front), and Mascherano's foul action was not serious, so there was no need to show him another yellow card.

However, just as Cech was commanding his teammates to lay out the wall, Henry, who had already been in place, took advantage of the opportunity that everyone was focusing on the wall and suddenly kicked the ball and shot it directly into the unguarded gate!

Henry's shot caught everyone off guard. No one expected that Henry would break the routine and make a sudden attack on such occasions. Without waiting for the referee's whistle to whistle, he would directly shoot while the opponent's player was still setting up a wall!

The next exhibition was even more shocking, because at this time, Bennett, who served as the referee of the North London derby in this game, did not violate the rules when he was punishing Henry for a free kick as expected by Tottenham players. Instead, he pointed his single hand at the center of the court under the surprise gaze of Tottenham players and fans on the scene, indicating that Henry's direct free kick was effective and Arsenal took the lead with one goal!

One to zero! At the 29th minute of the game, Arsenal temporarily led Tottenham Hotspur 1 to zero at White Hart Lane Stadium and took the lead in this derby game!

I'll go, what's going on? Seeing Bennett's gesture, all Tottenham players had a capital letter on their faces. They couldn't figure it out, why did Henry's goal be determined to be valid by Bennett!

In this way, with Henry's sneak attack goal being declared effective by Bennett, Tottenham temporarily lags behind Arsenal in this North London derby. The league's record of continuous goals maintained by Cech was finally frozen at the 1399-minute number that makes people feel regretful!
