Arsenal snatched a draw against Tottenham despite being reduced to 10 men as they kept their title hopes alive at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
The Gunners took the lead through Aaron Ramsey, but Francis Coquelin was subsequently dismissed and goals from Toby Alderweireld and Harry Kane turned the match on its head.
But Arsene Wenger's men salvaged a draw through Alexis Sanchez to remain within three points of their bitter north London rivals and a further five points off Leicester at the summit.
Spurs, who are second favourites ahead of Arsenal to win the league, have not finished above the Gunners since 1995, a statistic that brings great joy to the red side of north London.
Indeed, St Totteringham's Day, now celebrated 20 years in succession, is the day when Arsenal fans celebrate the fact that Tottenham can no longer mathematically catch them in the league.
But will there be reason for celebration this season? Or will Tottenham finally finish above Arsenal?
