Watch David Bentley’s opening goal in the 4-4 thriller between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur to make up your own mind.

Bentley’s brilliant early strike put Spurs ahead in the 13th minute and is being singled out as a likely goal of the season.

It was a piece of genius by former Arsenal midfield man Bentley that gave them the goal.

He took a Huddlestone header and teed himself up for a stunning volley from 40 yards that Arsenal keeper Manuel Almunia touched but could not keep out.

Arsenal fought back to take a 4-2 lead with only seconds of normal time to play, before goals from Jermaine Jenas and Aaron Lennon gave Spurs an unlikely point.
