Bottom of the league on five points, Tottenham visit the Emirates on a Wednesday night, 29 October 2008, days after Redknapp took over, and share eight goals with fourth placed Arsenal. Juande Ramos is sacked after two points from eight games, and Spurs arrive without the injured Ledley King in a snowy north London week.
A dipping volley from almost 40 yards loops over Almunia for a Spurs lead after 13 minutes, but Silvestre heads in a van Persie corner on 37 minutes. Gallas nods in a van Persie free kick moments after the break, before Adebayor makes it three on 64 minutes.
Darren Bent, on for barely a minute, pounces on 67 minutes when Almunia fumbles a long shot, yet van Persie puts Arsenal two clear again a minute later. Aaron Lennon, on as a replacement from the 55th minute, is still waiting with Arsène Wenger's side 4-2 up and 90 minutes nearly gone.
Clichy slips on 89 minutes and Spurs steal the ball to curl one past Almunia, then Lennon sweeps in a rebound off the post as the fourth minute of stoppages expires. Tottenham climb clear from there and finish eighth, four places behind their neighbours.
The phrase "top bins" is all about the top corners of the goal, where the crossbar meets the posts. It describes a goal scored with precision, power, and accuracy right into the top corner - an unstoppable strike! It is synonymous with "finding the corner" or a "perfect" strike - e.g. "They've put that top bins" or "That is top bins!".
