4. Most Lopsided Match Up Ever At White Hart Lane

In the history of the North London Derby, which extends over a century back into the early 1900s, there have been matches with heavy one-way traffic. However, of all those lopsided matches, one reigns supreme: A 6-0 drubbing that Arsenal laid on Tottenham at where else but White Hart Lane, the Gunners favorite opposing grounds.

6 March 1935, the Gunners were in the midst of the Herbert Chapman years, the first glorious dynasty of the clubs packed history. The Spurs simply stood no chance, as the Ted Drake, Cliff Bastin show ran rampant over the humble grounds of the opposition. Drake scored a brace, Bastin nabbed one, Alf Kirchen grabbed another brace and Pat Beasley snagged one as well.

No matter what defeats the Gunners have fallen to at the Lane, nothing tops that one fateful day that still holds the record for the most lopsided affair in North London Derby history.
