Yesterday's North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham finished 1-1 with the goals coming from Kieran Gibbs and Harry Kane.

The two goal scorers were also London born. The London Times today published a fact that showed it was the first derby between the two sides that saw a local player from each team score in the game in over quarter of a century.
