Flamini: I had a point to prove to Arsenal

Mathieu Flamini scored twice against Tottenham and he admits he felt he had a point to prove.

Mathieu Flamini said he wanted to prove a point to Arsenal after inspiring his side to a 2-1 League Cup win over rival Tottenham.

The 31-year-old made his first appearance of the season and scored either side of a Calum Chambers own goal at White Hart Lane to send Arsene Wenger's side through to face Sheffield Wednesday.

Flamini was linked with a move away from Arsenal in the transfer window, with Galatasaray among the clubs understood to be chasing his signature.
