2. Tottenham Hotspur 4-5 (November 2004)
The first fixture since the title clinch from the Gunners months earlier and Spurs’ mission to exact revenger failed in what Jose Mourinho infamously described as a “cricket score”. The likes of Thierry Henry, Robert Pires, Jermaine Defore and Freddie Kanoute all got on the scoresheet. Yet, in terms of drama, that game was to be topped.
