Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal



It's been a while since Emmanuel Adebayor and Arsenal fans saw eye to eye - the Togolese's manic celebration at Eastlands for Manchester City against Arsenal two seasons ago severed the bond between them so irreparably that even his transfer to Spurs this summer hardly intensified the Gunners' contempt for their former striker. Greeted with inevitable jeers from the visiting fans before the match, Adebayor responds with a smile



With temperatures knocking 28C and the sun so bright the spectators can hardly see the ball, the two sides engage in a frantic first half
