An unlikely brace of goals from defensive midfielder Mathieu Flamini saw Arsenal beat Spurs 2-1 in the Capital One Cup third round.
Flamini pounced on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s parried shot to give the Gunners the lead before Calum Chambers deflected into his own net to draw Spurs level.
Spurs looked to be in the ascendancy and created chances of their own before Flamini fired a sensational volley past Michel Vorm to settle matters.
The result means that Arsene Wenger keeps alive his hope of winning a trophy that he has never won, having guided his side to two previous finals.
