Adebayor struggled to find reasons why Arsenal's bitter rivals were able to salvage a draw at the Emirates Stadium after heading into the final two minutes 4-2 down.

"To be champions in this way? You can never be a champion. That is for sure," Adebayor said.

The 24-year-old Togo striker suggested that Arsenal thought the match was won heading into the final minutes of the game, echoing the naivety that boss Arsene Wenger has highlighted.

They also looked in control against Hull earlier in the campaign and ended up losing, while last season their title challenge fell apart after Birmingham earned a late draw at St Andrews.

Even though they earned a point, Spurs players celebrated like they had won after Aaron Lennon's leveller at the death.

"There is a lot of disappointment," Adebayor added on Arsenal TV Online. "We are down at the moment because we did everything to get the three points and we ended up with one.

"We feel very sorry for ourselves that the things are not going the right way. It was one of the most difficult games in my life because I cannot understand that after 90 minutes we were leading 4-2 - I don't know how we finished with a draw.

"It's very easy to give up because we were 4-2 up and maybe thinking the game was finished. With five, six or seven minutes to go, maybe in our head the game was over."
