After such a forgettable time with Spurs, kinda nice to recall that Darren Bent had a poacher's instinct with that second goal.
Bentley's opening goal from fully 40 yards out, though, is something else.
Not only did he truly mean to do this, he was following on from pre-match advice from coach Clive Allen who had highlighted to the team that the keeper had a tendency to come well off his line when the ball was upfield and to look for long-range shooting opportunities. Bentley carefully controlled it and, when you watch - and re-watch and re-re-watch - the replay, it's clear there was only one thing on his mind.
Follow Clive Allen's advice. Such a great moment.
Our third goal might be the absolute pinnacle of Jenas' time with Spurs. Sublime finish.
But the impact of the equalizer is something that you had to be there in the moment to fully appreciate. This was hugeness personified. A season about to turn round and you could absolutely feel, taste and smell it. Yes, I was sat at a TV set five time zones to the west as the game unfolded. But when Aaron Lennon alertly nipped in to tap home the final goal, I went as fully berserk as that loony fan who embraced Lennon on the pitch. Lord, how I envied him.
This is one of my all-time favourite derbies. 'Arry's second match at the helm after the '8 games, 2 points' debacle. On the scoreboard, it was a 4-4 draw, clawing back from two goals down and Arsenal handed a real chance to put Spurs in a world of hurt.
Instead, in real life, this was a crushing moral victory - an absolute rallying point - for a Spurs team battling their way out of trouble and, eventually under 'Arry, on to its first Champions League appearance. And what a time that was, eh? We have done nothing but progress solidly onward from here. Arsenal? Not so much.
Football archeologists will one day proclaim that this game is when the commencement of the full recovery of belief and initiative displayed by today's Tottenham Hotspur started. To say nothing of where and when the restoration of football's true Norf London Lineage began. Thank you Arsenal.
