As for us, it is time to wind down this live text commentary, but we will crank it back up again tomorrow for West Brom v Burnley, which kicks off at 16:00 BST.

Cheerio.

"If I was Joe Hart and I'm not back in the Man City team soon I'd look to move in January. If you're not playing, you're not first choice for your team, you cannot be first choice for your country.

"It's harsh on Hart, who has played very, very well this season. But if he doesn't play on Tuesday against Roma then it's clear he's not being rested, he's been dropped."

Harsh on Hart?

Hull v Manchester City tops the order on Match of the Day, a game which saw City manager Manuel Pellegrini make the surprise decision to name goalkeeper Joe Hart on the bench.

He was dropped last November but won his place back from Costel Pantilimon. Is Pellegrini wanting to see the same reaction?

Match of the Day

There were 21 goals scored in eight Premier League games today, some stunners amongst them, so don't forget to watch Match of the Day on BBC One, 10:30 BST.

Here is the running order: 1. Hull v Manchester City, 2. Man U v West Ham, 3. Chelsea v Villa, 4. Liverpool v Everton, 5. Southampton v QPR, 6. Arsenal v Spurs, 7. Palace v Leicester, 8. Sunderland v Swansea.

Amar in Wolverhampton: Not good enough from Arsenal. Will Chelsea drop many points at home to teams of Spurs' quality? I doubt it.

Sam: As much as I love Wenger, I think he should go after this season. We need a change, and I think Klopp would be perfect, and he wants to win. I love Wenger as much as the next Gunners fan, but I think it's time for something else for Arsenal.

Andy: Complete rubbish. Arsene has been managing with his hands tied behind his back - wait till the end of the season to judge! Spurs had 30% of the game, says it all.

Bury slipped from top spot in League Two after Jimmy Keohane's 83rd minute strike gave Exeter a surprise 2-1 win and ended The Shakers eight-game unbeaten run. The hosts are enjoying a mini-revival after a poor start to the season, having now won three games on the bounce.

Stuart Beavon's left-footed strike was enough to hand Burton Albion a 1-0 win against Cheltenham at the Pirelli Stadium and take top spot.

Gary Rowett's side are one point ahead of second-placed Wycombe, who beat Cambridge 1-0 thanks to Paul Hayes's 63rd minute winner at Adams Park.

Wade Elliott's 74th minute strike handed league-leaders Bristol City a 3-2 win in their top-of-the-table clash with MK Dons at Ashton Gate. The Don's fought back from two goals down to make a real game of it but no sooner had Benik Afobe equalised for the visitors in the 73rd minute, than Wade Elliott hit back for the hosts, who extend their unbeaten run to nine games.

Peterborough move into second place and keep the pressure on at the top after Conor Washington's strike just before the break gave Darren Ferguson's side a 1-0 win against Fleetwood at London Road and ended a run of two defeats.

Leyton Orient, who parted company with manager Russell Slade this week, fought back from a goal down to lead 2-1 against Rochdale at Brisbane Road but couldn't hold on for their first home win of the season, eventually going down 3-2 as Matt Done hit a 66th minute winner.

Norwich City moved ahead of Nottingham Forest, who were held 0-0 at home to Brighton, at the top of the Championship after fighting back from a goal down to beat Blackpool 3-1 at Bloomfield Road. Nathan Delfouneso handed the Seasiders a 46th minute lead before a Donervorn Daniels own goal levelled the scores and Lewis Grabban and Josh Murphy scored to secure all three points.

Fulham caretaker manager Kit Symons boosted his chances of landing the job an a permanent basis after Hugo Rodallega's 71st minute strike handed the Cottagers their first league win of the season. Tim Hoogland's 63rd minute strike cancelled out David Cotterill's opener for Birmingham as Fulham maintained their winning form from the League Cup in midweek.

Darko Milanic's first game as Leeds United manager did not go to plan at Brentford. The Whites headed into the match on an unbeaten four-game run but were handed a 2-0 defeat by the Bees thanks to goals from Jota and Alan McCormack.

There were 21 goals scored in the Premier League today across eight games, but how about in the Football League? Time for a quick look back at how things unfolded in the Championship, League One and League Two...

Allan Abbas: Forget "Bad Luck", i wonder if the word "Luck" ever exist in Arsenal's world. Injury after injury.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "I think it is a good result for us. Maybe Arsenal controlled the game and had the ball more than us but we played well and defended well. I am happy with the performance in a tough game. I think the draw is fair.

"We scored a great goal. This is our philosophy, which is difficult to keep for 90 minutes at the moment, but we are on our way."

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: "We had a lot of the ball and it finished 1-1 so I am frustrated. We had good spirit and determination. We had 77% possession in the second half which is unbelievable. I am frustrated because we dropped two points and I am frustrated because we didn't make enough of our set-pieces. You want to be rewarded for the work you put in.

"You always want to create more but that is the Premier League now, teams sit deep. I had reduced options as well because I lost players. I had only one option for an attacking player to bring on at half-time."

When asked if Aaron Ramsey and Mikel Arteta would be fit for the Champions League game on Wednesday: "No chance. If it is a muscular problem I don' t see how they can be fit in five or six days time."

Jamie from Lincoln: The season's just started and I can't remember feeling more disappointed. I think Wenger needs to go, and bring in a manager who wants to win trophies. Sorry, but Wenger knows our weakness and for years he hasn't strengthened. Time to go, Wenger.

Player reaction

Tottenham goalscorer Nacer Chadli, speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm very happy to score in the derby. Erik [Lamela] gave me the ball and I just tried to shoot into the far corner.

"We defended well and with the pace we have we could cause Arsenal problems. As a team we fought for each other and that is important for the team spirit. We have one point at the Emirates and that is not bad."

Ryan Mason had a good game for Tottenham, especially after making his league debut in such a fixture.

The midfielder had rave reviews during his stint at Swindon last season, and evidently a bit of graft in League One has been character building for the 23-year-old.

Ian Marks: Good result for Spurs - it does beg the question why they can't defend as good as that on a regular basis...

Dax Fullbrook: Thank goodness for Lloris.

Kuntal Majumdar: Hugo Lloris - man of the match for me! David De Gea should take lessons from this man in motivation and goalkeeping.

Player reaction

Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who scored his first goal of the season, speaking to Sky Sports: "We did well to come back, but when we made it 1-1 we pushed on and tried to get the winner.

"Sometimes it's not about the best football, it's about who wants to win it more. In the second half we settled down and started to pass the ball more.

"I'll be working on scoring more as I have the potential to do that, but I also have my role to do defensively. As long as the boss gives me the licence to drive forwards and try and take people on I'm not too fussed where I play.

"We would have liked to have played some better football but it is important that we are not losing games. First and foremost we have to defend and then the more fluid side of our game will come."

Tottenham had just 31% of the possession in that game, their second lowest in a Premier League fixture from 2006-07 onwards. They are now without a win since the end of August.

Chasing the game

The draw maintains Arsenal's unbeaten start to the season in the Premier League but something Arsene Wenger will surely be keen to address sooner rather than later is the fact they have had to come from behind in four of their six games this season.

They are fourth with 10 points, six behind leaders Chelsea.

Former QPR and Charlton forward Bradley Allen

BBC London Digital Radio

"Tottenham showed a good, strong defensive spirit that kept them in the game. They did score against the run of play at the start of the second half, playing on the counter-attack. Arsenal dominated the lion's share of the game but didn't fashion that many opportunities.

"The Gunners just ran out of ideas and steam and they put in the effort and chased the game in the closing stages. Spurs will be happy with this result, while Arsenal will be a tad disappointed."

Phil McNulty

BBC Sport Chief Football Writer at Emirates

"Spurs fans, understandably, seem happier with a point. Lots of late pressure from Arsenal but Spurs stayed strong under pressure. Lots to satisfy both managers."

Miracle Roch: Arsenal have a problem. It's the focal point of attack. We should have got Mandzukic instead of Welbeck.

Chris Harvey: Chambers looks a good young player. Only a matter of time before we label him as a new messiah and blame him for it going wrong.

Gully: Calum Chambers has been fantastic - expect to see him wearing Sky Blue for City next season...

FULL-TIME

All over and Tottenham, you would imagine, will be the happier side with the point. Hard fought and well earned.

...Per Mertesacker's header is deflected behind, and then Mesut Ozil's corner fails to find a team-mate before Hugo Lloris gathers the ball.

Tottenham break through Jan Vertonghen but, and let's be honest, he is probably not the man you want leading a counter and he runs straight into trouble. Arsenal swiftly break up the other end and win another corner...

Former QPR and Charlton forward Bradley Allen

BBC London Digital Radio

"Tottenham are really having to dig deep here. I think Arsenal have one burst left in them in these closing minutes, but many players out there are very tired both in body and mind. This game has been played at breakneck speed from start to finish."

Arsenal have a corner but Alexis Sanchez doesn't beat the first man, the ball rebounds back to him but he runs straight into a Tottenham defender and the opportunity passes.

Getty Images

FIVE minutes of time added on is shown on the fourth official's board.

Eric Dier loves to get forward doesn't he? He was effectively a striker when he scored the winner against West Ham at the start of the season, and he rampages forward down the right for Tottenham in this game, but launches a cross high and out of play.

YELLOW CARD

Calum Chambers tugs Aaron Lennon's shirt and it is spotted by the referee, who shows him the yellow card.

Getty Images

Alexis Sanchez's ball into the box is headed away by Jan Vertonghen, but Arsenal are still in possession. Can Tottenham keep them at bay?

BBC

Former QPR and Charlton forward Bradley Allen

BBC London Digital Radio

"What negative influence is sports science having on modern-day players? They keep breaking down. I appreciate the speed at which the game is played these days, but the players just play so much football. Look at all the soft tissue injuries we've had tonight, players like Danny Rose and earlier Aaron Ramsey."

SUBSTITUTION

Danny Rose is down on the ground now, cue jeers from the home crowd. He can't continue and defender Eric Dier, who grabbed a couple of goals early in the season, replaces him. Rose is booked as he goes off, possibly deemed not have left the pitch quickly enough.

Tom Stylianou: What a dummy by Welbeck!

Matt Harrison: Danny Welbeck's best ever miss?

Kritt Normsaskul: Knowing Tottenham as I do, I fully expect the Gunners to go on and win this...

It must be quite intimidating down on the pitch for Tottenham players with the noise from the Arsenal fans deafening. The Gunners have the bit between their teeth. They are hungry for a winner now.

Former QPR and Charlton forward Bradley Allen

BBC London Digital Radio

"A massive response form Arsenal. The crowd drove them on over the last 10 minutes. Spurs didn't clear their lines well enough, and after Welbeck scuffed his shot it broke to Oxlade-Chamberlain, who slammed his shot into the roof of the net. And Tottenham just couldn't hold out, as Arsenal get back on level terms and are now really on top."

GOAL

Well, it has been coming. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain equalises for Arsenal but Tottenham will be kicking themselves after being punished for lazily attempting to clear. Erik Lamela needed only to hook the ball away, but sliced it to Mesut Ozil, whose cross was eventually smashed home by Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Getty Images

YELLOW CARD

And another yellow as Ryan Mason gets himself booked for flying in on Mesut Ozil. That's seven so far in this game.

YELLOW CARD

Yellow cards galore as Emmanuel Adebayor and Aaron Lennon go in the referee's book for niggly fouls. The home fans are particularly pleased to see Adebayor booked.

Former QPR and Charlton forward Bradley Allen

BBC London Digital Radio

"This is an intriguing passage of play right now. If Arsenal can get an equaliser then expect wave after wave of Gunners attacks. But if Spurs can withstand that pressure then they could break and get one of their own, and move towards winning three points on their travels.

"Arsene Wenger is getting a little frustrated, as are the supporters, who can see it's not really happening for Arsenal. But Spurs are doing the right thing, slowing the speed of the match down and killing off the game a little."

It is attack after attack as Arsenal try to find a way through the Tottenham defence. The Spurs backline is holding firm though, crowding out Alexis Sanchez inside the area as he got the ball trapped under his feet.

"And that is what Spurs manager Maurico Pochettino has been banging on about all night. Press Arsenal in possession. Christian Eriksen got a flea in his ear for not doing it earlier but that was textbook - pinched it off Mathieu Flamini and set up Nacer Chadli."

"It was a poor piece of play from Arsenal. They opted to play out from the back and Spurs pressed. Eriksen intercepted, Lamela played in Chadli and his finished was so composed.

"This game is fast, frenetic and a wonderful Premier League spectacle."

GOAL

They've had few chances, but Tottenham capitalise on a mistake when it counts to take the lead. Mathieu Flamini loses possession to Christian Eriksen, who passes to Erik Lamela and he in turn finds Nacer Chadli, who coolly slots home. What will Arsenal's response be?

Adam Palethorpe: What is Arsene Wenger thinking with Alexis Sanchez? He played the full 90 minutes every game in a high tempo Chile team at the World Cup. Waste.

OneElNino: What's wrong with Spurs today? Look jaded and tired.

A good spell for Arsenal at the moment with Totteham players packing out their own box and just Erik Lamela in an advanced position. Surely not a tactic that can be sustained for a further 40 minutes?

Former QPR and Charlton forward Bradley Allen

BBC London Digital Radio

"Arsenal, buoyed by enormous support within the Emirates this evening, will be encouraged to go forward. But that's dangerous - Tottenham could break with good numbers across the halfway line. If that does happen, Spurs need not to be wasteful."

CLOSE!

A brilliant bit of passing between Mesut Ozil and Jack Wilshere just inside the Tottenham area sees the former with a sight of goal, but his powerful drive is pushed away by Hugo Lloris.

Getty Images

Arsenal's turn to attack follows soon after as a short corner is intercepted but Kieran Gibbs quickly wins back possession but blazes his cross high and wide. I say it was a cross, it may well have been a shot. Whatever it was, it was not great.

BBC

Calum Chambers nods behind Ryan Mason's cross as Tottenham attack straight from the restart, but the subsequent corner is headed away by Per Mertesacker.

KICK-OFF

The fans all seem happy with what they have seen so far and are still in great voice as Tottenham get matters back under way.

Arsenal's formation has been fairly fluid but Mesut Ozil, who started the game plating further out wide than he did against Aston Villa, has struggled to make an impact. Most of his passes in the first half were to team-mate Aaron Ramsey, with few forward efforts. Plenty of time yet though.

Former QPR and Charlton forward Bradley Allen

BBC London Digital Radio

"A decent half. Both sides have contributed. It was a sharp opening from Arsenal, taking the game to the more defensive Tottenham who were playing on the counter-attack. That tactic started to work for Spurs as the half wore on, but neither side created more than a half chance."

Faddi S: Arsenal players dropping like flies again. The signing of Shad Forsythe hasn't helped in the slightest!

Forsythe, a new fitness coach at Arsenal who worked with Germany at the World Cup, was headhunted this summer.

MOTD's Jonathan Pearce at Emirates

"Arsenal complain to the referee that they should have had a penalty, while Emmanuel Adebayor missed the best chance for Tottenham.

"But Spurs' Hugo Lloris has been the busiest of the two goalkeepers.

"On a weekend of Ryder Cup action, it's a half each at the break."

Phil McNulty

BBC Sport Chief Football Writer at Emirates

"Lively without being a classic and some encouragement for both sides - Arsenal suffering from having to reshuffle their midfield after injuries to Mikel Arteta and Aaron Ramsey. Jack Wilshere also limping after a heavy knock."

HALF-TIME

The whistle goes for half-time and it is goalless. Not a classic compared to some over the years, but there were chances, particularly towards the end of the half.

Getty Images

Emmanuel Adebayor connects well with a ball into the box to strike a first-time effort goalwards, but Wojciech Szczesny is on hand to push the ball behind.

SUBSTITUTION

Disappointment for Aaron Ramsey as he is down on the ground, signalling to come off. Santi Cazorla comes on to replace the midfielder, whose frustration is clear as he limps towards the Arsenal dugout.

Getty Images

Former QPR and Charlton forward Bradley Allen

BBC London Digital Radio

"This match has really started to ebb and flow, and Spurs have gained some confidence from somewhere. Tottenham are attacking and Arsenal look flustered, having been thrown off their stride.

"These are the important spells, when as the visiting team you've got to turn the screw and make sure that if a half-chance comes along when you're in the ascendancy, like Spurs are now, you take it."

GREAT SAVE!

Lovely stuff from Aaron Ramsey as he smartly flicks the ball away from a Tottenham defender, passes to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, whose dipping effort is well saved by Hugo Lloris.

At the other end, Nacer Chadli races away and has just Wojciech Szczesny to beat, but scuffs his shot wide to the sound of ironic cheers from the home fans.

Per Mertesacker's blushes are spared as the Arsenal defender powers a Tottenham corner towards his own goal, but Wojciech Szczesny is quick to react and save from his own team-mate.

Phil McNulty

BBC Sport Chief Football Writer

"Mauricio Pochettino continues to be furious that Spurs are allowing Arsenal too much time in possession. Twice in a matter of seconds Emmanuel Adebayor and Christian Eriksen were on the end of what might be politely terms as rollockings."

Get involved using #2derbiesinaday

After watching Liverpool and Everton's 1-1 draw earlier today before rushing down to London for Arsenal v Spurs, it's mission accomplished for Kevin Kilbane as he takes a seat at Emirates Stadium for his second derby of the day.

@kdkilbane77

"Better late than never", he says. Let's hope he stayed at Anfield until the end anyway...

Better from Tottenham as Emmanuel Adebayor is put through but his first touch takes him away from Wojciech Szczesny and Arsenal are able to shut off the gap before Adebayor can get his shot off.

Aaron Ramsey is the busiest player on the pitch at the moment, he has had 39 touches, more than any other player. Emmanuel Adebayor, perhaps highlighting how rare Tottenham have attacked, has had just eight, his latest touch being to spray a pass out wide and out of touch.

Thankfully it seems that the slow-motion television replays made the tackle on Jack Wilshere look worse that it may actually have been. He is back on the pitch and good to continue.

Big concern for Arsenal as Jack Wilshere is down injured after taking a whack to the ankle inside the Tottenham area. He limps to the sideline, but the injury looks particularly nasty on television replays.

Getty Images

Mikel Arteta is limping and he has to come off, Mathieu Flamini replaces the Arsenal midfielder.

YELLOW CARD

Erik Lamela is the first player booked for Tottenham after bringing down Kieran Gibbs. That's three players now on a yellow with just under 30 minutes gone.

Former QPR and Charlton forward Bradley Allen

BBC London Digital Radio

"Lovely football from Arsenal at the moment. Really slick interchanges. Danny Welbeck had a really decent, clean effort on target, but it was straight at the keeper.

"You just feel that Arsenal think this is their moment. They are right on top of Spurs, they have control, and I think it's only a matter of time. It's all about their speed of thought, the quality of their play and the speed of movement of the ball."

CLOSE!

There is some lovely one-touch passing on show from Arsenal, but they've been lacking that bite in attack. That is until Jack Wilshere strikes a dipping effort from outside the box after being teed up by Danny Welbeck, but Hugo Lloris is behind the shot.

Manager reaction

Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock: "We said at half-time we were a bit nervous in the first half. I thought the wide men could win it for us and that proved the case.

"We keep our feet on the floor. There is nobody getting carried away. Three points in the Premier League is very important.

"We have come on a long way in the last few weeks."

Manager reaction

Leicester manager Nigel Pearson: "It is disappointing to lose to two set-plays. The fashion in which we conceded the momentum was disappointing. I thought we started well and created chances but were unable to make anything of them.

"We were under par in the second half. You have to give them credit, though. They defended with intelligence. But ultimately we had to come up with ways to break them down and couldn't find that edge."

YELLOW CARD

Another yellow card for Arsenal, this time going to Jack Wilshere after his late challenge on Ryan Mason. From the resulting free-kick, Emmanuel Adebayor just fails to make a telling connection, as his header is straight at Wojciech Szczesny.

Manager reaction

Getty Images

Swansea manager Garry Monk: "It was definitely a good point the way the game panned out and going down to 10 men.

"We showed character in adversity and I thought the boys defended admirably and we deserved a point. They had a couple of headers and when we were down to 10 men threw a lot forward but apart from that we limited them to hardly anything.

"We weren't as fluid as we have been but there will be games like that and then you have to do the basics right."

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's pace sees him get the better of Danny Rose and he sends a deep cross into the area from the right which is picked up by Danny Welbeck, who works himself a bit of an opening and shoots low from the edge of the area, but Hugo Lloris is behind the shot and scoops up the ball.

Wale Ibraheem: Spurs need to be more clinical in the final third. They could have hit Arsenal on the counter with the right passes.

BBC

Arsenal are seeing plenty of the ball but not really making it count, highlighted by a Mesut Ozil corner into the area failing to find a red and white shirt and Tottenham clear easily. Spurs are defending quite well and have shown glimpses of being dangerous on the break. Tense affair.

Phil McNulty

BBC Sport Chief Football Writer at Emirates

"Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino is fired up for this. Stalking the touchline constantly and has already been involved in a couple of heated exchanges with the fourth official. The message to his own team seems to be not to drop too deep and invite Arsenal pressure - seems reasonable."

Great stuff from Danny Welbeck as he flicks the ball past Jan Vertonghen and drives towards goal. He has no support, though, and has to have a crack at goal, but Younes Kaboul is back to make the crucial block.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal on Wayne Rooney's red card: "It was a break-out of a set-play of ours and he makes a professional foul I think you can call it like that. I don't think Wayne wanted to do it that way but he did it and you can give a red card.

"Luke Shaw was always injured but now I could play with him for 90 minutes. He had a little cramp and it was amazing he lasted 90 minutes. Also, Paddy McNair played a very good match and I'm very pleased for him that we won.

"The rhythm of the game is very high. You cannot compare it with Germany and Spain. There is always pressure on the ball. Most of the English teams play physically. We have to keep the ball more easily and then we can improve our play."

Former QPR and Charlton forward Bradley Allen

"On my walk up here to the stadium this afternoon, a lot of Arsenal fans were already out in force, filling the pubs and getting ready to support their team, in the hope that once again they will leave this north London derby with the bragging rights."

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "The win is very important, you can imagine that. We played a very good first half with attractive football. We conceded again a goal from in set-plays. Maybe you can watch that their number 15 makes a foul on goalkeeper David De Gea.

"But OK, I am very happy that we hold the result until the end because it is very difficult to play against a team who have one more player but who also play a lot of high balls. I am very pleased with the attitude of my players."

"It's a big responsibility for young Ryan Mason of Tottenham. He's been out on loan at numerous clubs and he scored midweek in the League Cup, but these are the big boys tonight. And what a fantastic atmosphere inside the Emirates this evening."

What a game for Ryan Mason to make his Premier League debut in, the atmosphere is electric! He and his team-mates have not seen too much of the ball yet, though, with Arsenal stroking a few passes around, testing out the Spurs backline.

Manager reaction

QPR manager Harry Redknapp: "We came back strongly after their goal and I felt we had every opportunity at that stage of the game but their centre-forward produced a world-class goal. Niko Kranjcar hit a fantastic free-kick but it hit the woodwork and we couldn't get the break.

"We didn't give up today and it was a much better performance. Charlie (Austin) took his goal well today and that's encouraging. He's proven that he can score goals in the Premier League. Southampton are a good side but I felt we stuck at it and we got a bit more belief in ourselves today and we've got to continue to believe."

Remember all that chat about Mesut Ozil playing in the number 10 role a few entries earlier? Well, at the moment, he appears to be playing wide left. That could well change soon enough though.

KICK-OFF

Superb atmosphere at Emirates as Arsenal get things under way.

Manager reaction

Hull City manager Steve Bruce: "We gave ourselves a mountain to climb. They nearly blew us away in the first 10 minutes. Maybe we showed them too much respect. We were brave or stupid to play two up top. I thought 'we're at home let's give it a go'. We had a couple of chances to take the lead but on the day we weren't good enough.

"They've got quality written throughout the team. The one thing you have to do is defend well. We've conceded four and not done that badly. Sometimes you have to hold your hand up and say you have been beaten by the better team.

"I was delighted with the attitude. We were brave and it nearly came off. It was pleasing."

Phil McNulty

BBC Sport Chief Football Writer at Emirates Stadium

"The playing surface here at The Emirates is getting a real soaking pre-match from the sprinklers. The presence of a former player is always guaranteed to enliven proceedings and the name of former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor brought a chorus of disapproval from the home fans when it was read out."

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman: "It was very tough. We expected that. We told the boys that after last Tuesday (Capital One Cup win over Arsenal) that it'd be more difficult. All the credit to QPR about the second half. We know we have offensive qualities but in a difficult second half, to keep the spirit and the belief to win the game, it was a good compliment to the boys. The most important is that we believe in our way of playing and the second half was a fantastic second half from both sides."

Koeman on Pelle's goal: "You don't score a lot of that kind of goals because it was amazing. It's a great goal. That's a great feeling for him and a great feeling for the club and fans. The support was amazing today."

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert: "I thought we gave a really good account of ourselves. We were really solid. I can't fault the lads. When you do get a chance at a place like this you have to score. Maybe 3-0 was a little harsh on us."

"If you have someone like Mesut Ozil in that number 10 position, that Teddy Sheringham role, he will affect the game if he gets lots of the ball. Danny Welbeck needs some like Ozil on the ball to help him make an impact on the match.

"On what I've seen this season, Arsenal will finish above Spurs. The Gunners have the better players, whereas Tottenham's are all of the same standard."

"Spurs are huffing and puffing"

Former Manchester United and Liverpool midfielder Paul Ince: "That number 10 role allows you freedom and the goals Mesut Ozil set up and scored against Aston Villa were from the outside left. If you give him freedom that is what will happen, but playing where he has to track players, he is not going to do that.

"At Spurs, when you have Eriksen and Lamela, Adebayor and Soldado, they are quality players but the team is huffing and puffing all the time. It is a slow start for Spurs, they are adapting to Mauricio Pochettino. At Southampton meanwhile, Ronald Koeman has gone in and only had a few things to change, but Pochettino has had to change a lot of things at Spurs."

Sunderland manager Gus Poyet: "What do we have to do to win a football game? We did everything. We were the better team 11 v 11. We created chances and we were the team looking to have that winning goal.

"When they had a man sent off it was even more like that but we can't put the ball in the net and take advantage of our game. If we were terrible and couldn't pass the ball or create chances I would be worried but the way we played today I am calm.

"I will look to prepare to make sure we win the next game."

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, speaking to Sky Sports: "We take into consideration the games players play and that is why I have decided to go with what I have today.

"I am not surprised, personally, when Mesut Ozil plays well. His position on the pitch is the wrong debate because even when he plays on the flank he plays with complete freedom. He is world champion on the left wing, let us not forget."

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce: "I've looked on the laptop and Kevin Nolan made a good run from deep and put the ball in the net. Unfortunately for us, the assistant saw something we didn't. It's unfortunate when you've worked so hard to get back in the game. We gifted Manchester United two goals and at 11 v 11 we had the best chances. Diafra Sakho could easily have had a hat-trick today."

It is looking like Mesut Ozil will be playing that number 10 role behind Danny Welbeck today. He ran the show in that position against Aston Villa last week. More of the same today?

Indomitable Wenger?

This isn't just a picture of a mulleted Gerry Francis leaning against a tree. Oh no. This is a picture of the first Tottenham manager Arsene Wenger pitted his wits against. That was back in November 1996, with Arsenal winning that north London derby 3-1.

Since that game 10 Tottenham managers have come and gone. Mauricio Pochettino will today be the 12th Tottenham manager to face Wenger, with the Argentine getting his first taste of the north London derby.

History may not be on his side, but he hopes to be able to emulate the Arsenal boss' longevity, saying: "It's a dream to stay here like [him] or to have the time Arsene had in Arsenal. For this, I need to show my skill, I need to work hard, I need to get the results. You need to work with passion."

A win today would certainly do his long term prospects no harm.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "It was very good from the beginning. Even during the period the game was 1-0, when it could be open, it was always closed because we controlled the game. We had a big percentage of the ball. When we weren't dangerous we kept the ball. My four defenders and two midfield players were very solid. The result was a consequence of our dominance. The display allowed me to take off Diego Costa to give me a chance to play him on Tuesday [against Sporting Lisbon]."

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: "These things can happen. We started very well. We were very unlucky with two individual mistakes through the game.

"He [Eliaquim Mangala] was very unlucky with the own goal and after that he arrived late for the penalty but we continue to trust him because he is a very good player who had very bad luck.

"During the week when we scored seven I felt that the team was tired. I think today we played a very good team. They defended very well and we scored four goals which was very good. It was very important to win three pints here because we cannot allow to drop any more points on Chelsea."

Manchester United striker Robin van Persie: "We played well. We had to fight in the second half and we did that. I'm very proud. The two debutants (Paddy McNair and Luke Shaw) did great. West Ham have been playing really well, so that's why we were happy with the goals we scored early on."

I wonder how Kevin Kilbane is getting on his attempts to see two derbies in one day?

@kdkilbane77

He hot footed it to the train station after Everton drew 1-1 at Liverpool and I would imagine he is out of the tube and walking briskly to the Emirates, where Arsenal host Tottenham in just under half-an-hour.

We have been treated to 19 goals so far today in the Premier League, what has the north London derby got in store for us, I wonder?
