Tomas Rosicky has hailed his performance in Arsenal's 5-2 victory against Tottenham in 2012 as the best he has ever produced for the Gunners.

The 35-year-old, who joined Arsene Wenger's side from Borussia Dortmund in 2006, is a veteran of a number of north London derbies.

But the stunning comeback at the Emirates Stadium four years ago stands out about all others for the Czech Republic midfielder.

Spurs were on course to secure back-to-back wins against their rivals for the first time in 86 years only for the hosts to come roaring back into the contest.

"Against Tottenham," Rosicky told Arsenal Player. "When we were 2-0 down and we won 5-2 and I scored the third goal. So I think that was probably one of the best ones."

While Rosicky did not struggle to pick out a memorable moment he failed to choose his worst display for Arsenal, as he believes there has never been one.

"Not really - I always play very good football," the midfielder joked.

The same can't be said for Theo Walcott, who is evidently still haunted by his poor showing against Fulham at Craven Cottage a couple of years ago.
