Everton vs. Arsenal

6-1, Premier League, Goodison Park, 15/8 -09
Denilson 26,
Vermaelen 37,
Gallas 41,
Fabregas 48, 70,
Eduardo 89

It started quite even, until Bendtner showed his technical skills and got past some defenders, then slid the ball to Fabregas, who already knew where to put it, and Denilson answered with delight, a great shot in the upper corner of the goal.
The second came a little over ten minutes later, van Persie took a freekick that found Vermaelen who beautifully nodded in 2-0.
With four minutes from half-time, Fabregas stroke in a freekick towards Gallas who easily jumped for it, and that meant 3-0.

After half time Arsenal answered in the same style that they left with, just two minutes into the second half they did a beautiful counter attack after an Everton corner, Arshavin won the ball and passed to Denilson, who slid the ball to van Persie, and the Dutchman passed to Fabregas who shot Arsenal 4-0 ahead.
After that the game slowed down a bit, until Almunia kicked the ball out to Fabregas, who runned past the midfield and got an incredible shot in the low corner, and when he scored this one, he runned to the bench and picked up a shirt with the name and number of the spanish Espanyol captain who died last week, only 26 years old.

And at last, Eduardo got the chance to round things up, which he did, first he passed to Arshavin, who took a shot that bounced off the post, but Eduardo was there to press it in, 6-0.
Everton got an consolation goal in the 91st minute, but that didn't stop the Arsenal fans to cheer and mockingly singing Boring, Boring Arsenal!

The Goals!
