David Bentley has shed some light into how he scored his stunning goal for Tottenham Hotspur against Arsenal.
The goal came back in back in October 2008 during the 4-4 North London derby draw at the Emirates.
Bentley gave Harry Redknapp a dream start in his first official game in charge of the club when his audacious effort from distance found the back of the net.
The former midfielder who started his career at Arsenal appeared on the BBC Radio 5 live radio show along with Jermaine Jenas and revealed that it was Spurs coach Clive Allen who told him that Gunners goalkeeper Manuel Almunia is always of his line.
