For many, this was the day Harry Kane came of age.

The England forward scored twice as Spurs fought back from a half-time deficit to win and move above Arsenal in the table.

Kane’s second, a towering header four minutes from time, proved a fitting end to a pulsating contest at White Hart Lane.

Arsenal and Tottenham shared eight goals in a dramatic encounter at the Emirates Stadium.

Former Gunner David Bentley crashed in a stunning early long-range effort to put Spurs ahead.

Arsenal, though, rallied to exploit Harry Redknapp’s men at the back as Mikael Silvestre, William Gallas and Emmanuel Adebayor all scored to seemingly put the hosts in control at 3-1.

Darren Bent pulled one back before Robin van Persie looked to have settled the contest with a fourth Arsenal goal after 68 minutes.

However, with 89 minutes on the clock, Jermaine Jenas made it 4-3 to set up a grandstand final – and there was just enough time left for Aaron Lennon to net a dramatic equaliser to earn Spurs a share of the spoils.

Not content with going on to become the first team in over 120 years to complete a top-flight campaign unbeaten, Arsene Wenger’s ‘Invincibles’ sealed the 2003/04 Premier League title at White Hart Lane.

Patrick Vieira and Robert Pires struck in the first half to put the Gunners in charge.

Although David Pleat’s Spurs side produced a second-half fight back – secured with a last-minute penalty from Robbie Keane – it was not enough to stop fierce rivals Arsenal celebrating a famous title success in their own back yard.

Played at Wembley, Spurs revelled in an iconic FA Cup semi-final victory over the Gunners, inspired by a stunning long-range free-kick from Paul Gascoigne.

Under George Graham, Arsenal were heading toward their second First Division title in three seasons, and had sights set on the double.

However, Gascoigne set Spurs on their way after only five minutes – letting fly with a sublime 35-yard free-kick which flew into the top right-hand corner past David Seaman.

Spurs eventually won 3-1, Gary Lineker scoring twice. Terry Venables’ men went on to lift the trophy back at Wembley in the FA Cup final against Nottingham Forest, which saw Gascoigne taken off on a stretcher with a serious knee injury.

Bertie Mee’s side made the short journey to White Hart Lane on the final day of the season knowing victory, or a goalless draw, would see Arsenal win the championship ahead of Leeds – and claim the title for the first time since 1953.

Spurs goalkeeper Pat Jennings, later to become a Gunner himself, held the visitors at bay until two minutes from time when he was beaten as Ray Kennedy’s header went in off the underside of the crossbar.

Five days later at Wembley, Arsenal beat Liverpool 2-1 to secure the double.
