Arshavin, Eduardo left on bench at Tottenham

Andrei Arshavin's Arsenal career started on the bench Sunday, with the Russia playmaker only watching his new team's 0-0 draw with Tottenham.

The 27-year-old attacking midfielder joined Arsenal from Zenit St. Petersburg on Monday, but has not played a competitive match in two months.

Also on the Arsenal bench was Eduardo da Silva, back in the squad for the first time since breaking his leg almost a year ago. The Brazilian-born Croatia forward, who fractured his left fibula and dislocated his ankle in February 2008, made his comeback for Arsenal's reserve team in December.

Robbie Keane started for Tottenham after returning from six months at Liverpool.
