Thierry Henry came off the bench to deny Tottenham victory in the last north
London derby at Highbury.

Spurs dominated the first half and took the lead on 66 minutes when Robbie
Keane tapped in Edgar Davids' cross.

Arsenal were outraged that Spurs did not stop play for an injury but Henry
wiped out the disappointment with a stunning finish six minutes from time.

Davids' second booking meant Spurs had to hang on for a draw which leaves the
race for fourth still open.

Before the game, Tottenham might have settled for the draw, which means they
maintain their four-point advantage over the Gunners, but after dominating
for long spells, they will leave Highbury disappointed.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger took the surprise decision to drop Henry and Cesc
Fabregas to the bench and after weathering some early pressure, Tottenham
began to trouble the hosts - largely through the right-wing threat of Aaron
Lennon.

The 19-year-old slipped a pass through for Jermain Defoe, whose weak effort
was easily saved by Jens Lehmann with the unmarked Davids screaming for the
ball.

Defoe almost redeemed himself moments later when he beat the offside trap,
controlled Michael Carrick's lofted ball but saw his venomous shot cannon off
Lehmann's face.

Tottenham saved the best of an impressive first-half for the last minute,
Carrick beating three Arsenal challenges and Lehmann before shooting into the
side netting from a tight angle.

However, with Henry looking ominously on from the bench, Spurs went in at
half-time without a goal to show for their dominance.

They continued to press after the break, but when Emmanuel Eboue came on for
the injured Philippe Senderos, Arsenal improved.

Robin Van Persie should have given Arsenal the lead on the hour when he
easily beat the offside trap but lifted his shot over Robinson and wide.

That was the cue for Wenger to introduce Henry and Cesc Fabregas, but with
Arsenal now looking the more likely to score, Spurs attacked on the break and
got the goal their earlier superiority deserved.

Davids broke down the left and slid a perfect ball across for Keane to tap in
at the far post.


As Keane celebrated, Arsenal's players took out their anger on Davids, who
they felt should not have played on with Eboue lying injured in the centre
circle after colliding with Gilberto.

And with the game threatening to boil over, Wenger and Spurs counterpart
Martin Jol squared up on the touchline - and later refused to shake hands
after the final whistle.

Arsenal would have eased their frustration even sooner had Jose Reyes' volley
not been brilliantly saved by Robinson, but Henry had Highbury rocking for
one final north London derby with a fabulous finish.

Fed by Adebayor, the French striker controlled and finished into the bottom
right corner in one breathtaking move.

It could have been much worse for Spurs after Davids' rash tackle on Fabregas
earned him a second yellow card, but they held on and go into their final two
games with a four-point lead over their rivals, who have a game in hand.
