The Arsenal striker scored his landmark 10th goal during the Christmas North London derby against Tottenham, grabbing the opening goal in a 2­1 victory at Emirates Stadium.

Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo currently leads the Premier League scoring charts but Adebayor remains in contention to become the first Arsenal player to win the Golden Boot since Thierry Henry in 2002.
