The prestigious north London derby kicked off in style, with both the clubs in their traditional colours. Arsene Wenger taking charge of the home side and new manager Pochettino taking part in his first NDL, but the Tottenham manager wasn't alone, the young midfielder Mason, was also handed his first derby.
The game saw Chilean Alexis Sanchez being dropped to the bench making way for in form man Chamberlian. On the other, the only change was Mason starting along side of Capoue. First half saw, both sides sitting back and counter attacking. With free flowing brand of football. But two sudden injures to Arsenal midfield man truned the game on its head, as Spurs started running at the new arsenal substitutes. Eriksen and Lamela doing all the creative job for spurs. With tackles flying and ball changing wings, the scoreline remained nil-nil.
The second half saw, Spurs taking the lead through Belgium man Chadli at the 56 minute, as the substitute Flamini was robbed of the ball for the goal. With the home side seen lagging behind now, Wenger introduced Sanchez for Jack. But it didn't take the home side too long to equalize the scores as Alex Ox Chamberlain equalized for Arsenal.
At the full time, the scoreline at Emirates stadium read one goal a piece.
