Goals galore: Our ace scoring streak against Spurs

Whether it’s Dennis Bergkamp’s famous chop and shot or Cesc Fabregas dribbling through the Tottenham defence to score straight from a kick-off, all Gooners will have their favourite goals from north London derbies in N5.

And thankfully, there are plenty to choose from, especially since the turn of the century, as we’re currently on a record-breaking run of scoring in successive home matches against Spurs.

You have to go back to November 1998 for the last time we failed to score on our own patch against the Lilywhites in the Premier League, a run of 26 matches - our longest home scoring streak against an opponent in the competition. It also means that we have scored in every single league NLD at Emirates Stadium since it was opened in 2006:

The record-breaking run is also the fifth-longest home scoring streak in our entire league history, although we still have plenty of work to do over the next decade if we’re to usurp the 35 times we scored past Bolton Wanderers across 73 years:

We’ve also netted at least twice in each of the last eight occasions we’ve met Tottenham at Emirates Stadium, and should we do so again on Sunday, that will tie the record currently held in visits from Leicester City between 1997 and 2016:

Obviously, scoring goals goes a long way to winning matches, and thanks to our ability to regularly find the net against Tottenham, we are also on a long unbeaten streak on our own patch.

Having won on their first visit to N5 in the Premier League in May 1993, Spurs have since won just one of the subsequent 32 matches at Highbury or Emirates Stadium in the competition’s history, which came in November 2010 when they came back to triumph 3-2.

That means we have not lost to our rivals at home for 15 years, and another victory against our rivals will mean we have picked up more points against Spurs at Emirates Stadium than any other team:

Taking into account matches at Highbury as well, the 69 Premier League points won against our neighbours on our turf is the third-highest total we’ve accumulated against any other team, behind Everton (78) and Newcastle United (72).
