On that occasion, with Andre Villas Boas’ side decked out in a half black and half grey and half black kit, Spurs were hammered 5-2 by an Arsenal team which contained the likes of Olivier Giroud, Santi Cazorla and Jack Wilshere.

The visitors had no foothold in the game whatsoever and the two players at the base of the midfield were in the firing line. Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr were both taken off at the interval, replaced by the more attacking James Maddison and Brennan Johnson.

Goals from Leandro Trossard and Gabriel have turned the north London derby around after Son Heung-min's opener. The Tottenham captain opened the scoring with a deflected effort but it was a set piece that did the business again for Arsenal with the Brazilian heading in from Declan Rice's corner before Trossard finished superby to make it 2-1.
