Theo Walcott's 79th minute goal denied Tottenham Hotspur victory as Arsenal claimed a 1-1 draw in a pulsating Carling Cup semi-final.

Spurs were extremely impressive in the first leg at the Emirates Stadium, and looked to be heading for a success when Jermaine Jenas handed them a first half lead.
But Walcott's fortunate strike denied Juande Ramos' side a first victory over their North London rivals in nine years.
Jenas opened the scoring eight minutes before the break following excellent work from the impressive strike partnership of Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane.
And everything appeared to be going to plan for Spurs, with Arsenal struggling to create against their organised opposition.
However, a pacey break saw Eduardo da Silva slide Walcott through and Lee Young-Pyo's challenge ricocheted off the teenager, leaving goalkeeper Radek Cerny with no chance.
