Cesc Fabregas (v Tottenham Hotspur, 31 October 2009)
Year on year, Tottenham had been steadily improving, threatening to dislodge their neighbours as the dominant force in North London…
The Lilywhites arrived at the Emirates full of optimism but this marauding run from Spaniard all but crushed Spurs hopes of pulling off a famous victory.
Having just fallen behind to a Robin van Persie goal on 42 minutes, Spurs lost possession straight from the kick-off and, before the Sky cameras had time to refocus, Fabregas had skipped past four Tottenham players and planted the ball into the bottom corner.
