I cant say that it was Arsenal's typical Cup Squad. They had Gallas, Gilberto, Fabregas (afeter the first 15 mins), Hleb and Adebayor.
They started the game very well, Walcot had some decent runs, and Bendtner had some attempts. They imposed a fast pace.
But 4 mins and they were caught with a rathr unexpected Jenas goal.
Then another one, and own goal by Bendtner.
From this point on the game was pretty much over. Arsenal were all over the pitch, with no good idea where to begin.
An important win for Spurs.
An even more important defeat for the Gunners - and the spat Adebayor had with Bendtner, the boody nose he gave the Dane - that spoke volumes about their team unity.
