Tottenham 1-2 Arsenal: Flamini proves Wenger's unlikely hero

Mathieu Flamini scored twice as Arsenal edged past rival Tottenham in the League Cup third round.

Mathieu Flamini proved to be Arsenal's unlikely derby hero as his double sealed a 2-1 victory over Tottenham in the League Cup third round.

Flamini opened the scoring in the 26th minute, pouncing on Michel Vorm's save to fire home from close range, as the Gunners edged a largely poor first half.

Harry Kane had the ball in the net early in the second period only to be denied by the offside flag, but Calum Chambers turned Nacer Chadli's cross into his own net to level the scores.
