'True happiness' - Arsenal’s Lauren remembers goal against Tottenham Hotspur

Etame Lauren has remembered the memory of scoring for Arsenal in their narrow home win against rivals, Tottenham Hotspur in 2002.

The ex-Cameroon international was the hero after scoring the winner for Arsene Wenger’s men in the 2-1 win at Highbury.

Freddie Ljungberg had given Arsenal a first-half lead thanks to his 24th-minute win; however, Teddy Sheringham levelled matters from the penalty spot.

And when it appeared like Spurs had exacted a damaging blow to their bitter rivals' title ambitions, Lauren beat Kasey Keller in goal after Dean Richards’ fouled Thierry Henry.
