We need to put these in the net. Reyes and Cygan should each have one. Things are certainly looking better this half. I've only smoked a half a pack this first half.
Nice - What was Lauren doing taking it? Well it doesn't matter - he put it in. 2 - 1 to the Arsenal - keep it up!
On the penalty - Robinson makes a terrible mistake after a mediocre free kick, and Pamarot, who'd been complemented by the officials for having "strong thighs" brings down Ljungberg. No doubt about that one. 56' Defoe almost levels with a deflected shot - but into side netting. Corner comes to nothing.
Not sure WHY Lauren took it. The announcers seemed just as suprised. He put it away quite well though, so I guess he has some experience with it. 58' Offiside on Bergkamp, but Spurs return the favor as Defoe is offiside as well.
'55 Brown gets a bit of a dubious yellow, although replays show he got Vieira. That's 3 Spurs players booked, but the through ball is poor. Then, Vieira breaks through and puts it away, simply. Nice finish.
Now that's what I like to see. Nice grab by Vieira and finishish. 3 - 1 to Arsenal. Great stuff - making my ulcers feel better right now. Thanks boys!
Horrible play by Spurs again - Naybet trying to dribble into no man's land. Lost the ball and after a deflection Vieira was clean through. He slotted the ball over Robinson as Henry was apparently pretending he was landing a plane (some weird hand gestures there). 62' Defoe puts it back. 3-2. Brilliant goal, too.
'63 Its getting a bit scrappy at midfield. I wouldn't be shocked to see one of the Spurs on a yellow sent off.
64' Spurs with some possession, but the throw on the far touch goes nowhere. Robinson punts back up field. Spurs retaining possession, however.
65' finall Arsenal have a goal kick, and can clear their lines (not that the pressure was all that dangerous, mind you). Robbie Keane steps over the ball in the box for no understandable reason, but Spurs are back in attack. Arsenal seem to have closed shop, curiously. Lauren's been defending very well, too.
67' Arsenal haven't been out of their own half in a while, but the Spurs haven't turned that into chances. Pires is now on for Reyes. Davies on for Spurs.
69' Vieira caught in possession, but the Tottenham break ends after a poor pass. Ljungbeg scores the other way. 4-2 Arsenal.
