Mathieu Flamini scores first ever Arsenal brace in North London Derby

This probably won't ever happen again

Mathieu Flamini has earned himself years of goodwill with Arsenal fans.

The French midfielder has been made a scapegoat for many of the Gunners’ struggles in the last 12 months, but it’s amazing what two goals against neighbours Tottenham can do.

Flamini has never scored more than once in a game for Arsenal before, but he struck either side of a Calum Chambers own goal to seal a 2-1 victory.

His second was so un-Flamini-like that we’ve started to wonder if Arsene Wenger got a ringer in.

There was double joy for the former Milan man as he laid claim to another honour, but this maybe says more about Arsenal’s season than anything else.
