Nasri’s overtime penalty kicks help Arsenal to 4-1 win at Spurs

Arsenal ousts Spurs from League Cup with 4-1 win

Samir Nasri scored a pair of penalty kicks in overtime as Arsenal ousted north London rival Tottenham from the League Cup with a 4-1 victory on Tuesday night, and Everton was beaten in a shootout by third-tier Brentford.

Henri Lansbury put the Gunners ahead in the 15th minute at White Hart Lane, but Tottenham substitute Robbie Keane tied it in the 49th.

After being fouled by Sebastien Bassong 30 seconds into overtime, Nasri converted from the penalty spot and the France midfielder beat goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa again five minutes later after Steven Caulker brought down Marouane Chamakh.

But the victory could have come at a cost for Arsenal, with England defender Kieran Gibbs limping off during overtime with a suspected broken bone in his left foot.
