Arsenal vs. Portsmouth

4-1, Premier League, Emirates, 22/8 -09
Diaby 18, 22,
Gallas 51,
Ramsey 69

Arsenal kick off the first home game of the season with a great 4-1 win! Abou Diaby gave us a brace in the first half and the second was no disappointment, with goals from Gallas and a first Premier League goal for young Aaron Ramsey.
The first one started from midfield where Cesc Fabregas delivered a beautiful ball to Eduardo, who put the ball on one side and runned the other past Wilson, and slipped the ball back to Diaby, who thundered in 1-0.
Once again Fabregas delivered well to Eboue, who runned great and slipped it to Diaby who could easily put it to the left of David James, just at the penalty mark.

The second started quite calm, Ramsey got in instead of Fabregas at halftime(the skipper felt his hamstring tighten), but again, from an Arsenal set-piece, the third goal came, Arshavin swept the free-kick in, the ball got past everyone, but Vermaelen threw himself towards the ball, but could only find Gallas, who got it on his feet and it went up to his forehead and then in through the post.
And at last, the Gunners finished the game off from some beutiful play, Robin van Persie got the ball a bit outside the box, and he spotted Ramsey running through the crowd of defenders, and he slid it through everyone to Ramsey, who didn't let the crowd down, and finished with taste.

All Goals;
