Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur History

This local derby was first held in 1896 and, to date, Arsenal & Tottenham Hotspur have contested more than 190 competitive meetings.

The 1909/10 season was the first time these rivals met in the Football League. They would continue to meet regularly in the First Division as Arsenal embarked on a first rise to prominence in the 1930s.

Tottenham had won a couple FA Cup titles by then, but it wasn't until the 60s that the Lilywhites enjoyed a sustained challenge for major silverware.

Without question, Arsenal are the more decorated between these two clubs based in north London. The Gunners won a 13th league title in 2004, doing so in extraordinary fashion by going the entire 38-game Premier League season without tasting defeat.

Arsenal also captured the FA Cup for a record 14th time in 2020, almost three decades since Spurs had last lifted this trophy. Other than a solitary League Cup success in 2008, Tottenham have become incredibly shy of major trophies in the 21st century.

North London Derby Stats & Mutual Connections

No player has scored more goals in the North London derby than former Spurs striker Harry Kane (14). Although he never donned the Arsenal badge at senior level, Kane briefly played for the Gunners at junior level before he was released.

England's all-time top scorer found the net 278 times for Tottenham, including 14 goals in 19 matches versus north London rivals Arsenal, before transferring to Bayern Munich in 2023.

Given the major rivalry between Arsenal & Tottenham, there are only a few players who have represented both of these clubs:

• Former goalkeeper Pat Jennings spent the bulk of his playing career in north London, making in excess of 500 outings combined for Arsenal & Spurs.

• Sol Campbell completed a controversial free transfer from White Hart Lane to Highbury in 2001, having initially joined Spurs as a teen. The central defender would win two Premier League & three FA Cup titles with the Gunners, and he was an integral component in the 'Invincibles' team of 2003/04.

• William Gallas moved to Arsenal from Chelsea in 2006, with Ashley Cole moving in the opposite direction. The France defender made almost 150 appearances for Arsenal before switching directly to Spurs in 2010.

• Emmanuel Adebayor signed for Arsenal in 2006, from AS Monaco, before joining Manchester City three years later. The now-retired Togo striker enjoyed a loan spell at Real Madrid and then spent four years as a Spurs player.

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur Head-to-Head

Arsenal have an exceptional record when it comes to playing against Spurs in front of their own crowd. This fixture has produced some classic encounters over the years.

Goals aplenty aren't unheard of when these teams face off; who can forget the thrilling 4-4 draw between Arsenal & Tottenham in 2008?

The Gunners secured back-to-back wins over Spurs in 2012, as both games ended 5-2 in favour of Arsène Wenger's side. Theo Walcott scored three goals across these fixtures, with the likes of Robin van Persie, Santi Cazorla & Olivier Giroud also on the scoresheet.

This came just two years after Tottenham had earned a shock win at the home of their arch rivals. Arsenal led 2-0 inside 30 minutes before Gareth Bale kickstarted a comeback as Spurs ran out 3-2 winners for a maiden league victory at the Emirates Stadium.

More recently, the rivals played out a 2-2 stalemate in September 2023. Heung-min Son equalised twice after Bukayo Saka had reinstated the hosts' advantage.
