5. Robin van Persie – 5 goals vs Spurs

Dutch legend Van Persie was bound to be on this list, as he scored five goals in his time with Arsenal against Tottenham in the derby.


He also recorded five assists, with many forgetting just how good he was in build up play rather than simply scoring, which he did with aplomb too.

Van Persie finished his tenure at Arsenal having scored over 130 goals for the Gunners. A true club legend.
