Arsenal vs. Blackburn Rovers

6-2, Premier League, Emirates, 4/10 -09
Vermaelen 17,
Van Persie 33,
Arshavin 37,
Fabregas 57,
Walcott 75,
Bendtner 89

6 goals, 6 different goalscorers, it kinda' feels like a review of Arsenal so far this season, we are actually the team that has the greatest variety in goalscorers, but also a not so big variety in assists, Fabregas passed to every goal but one this game, and scored one himself! We are indeed lucky to have him.

It all started quite unbelievable, with Blackburn scoring in the 4th minute or something, we were in control of the game, Fabregas headed in the crossbar minutes before Vermaelen showed us some more of his great goalscoring form with a shot that shows that the last one wasn't a once in a lifetime shot, Fabregas provided the first of four in the evening.
Then we looked firmly in control and had some great chances, when a shot bounced off Gallas and went in for Blackburn, and we were somehow back were we started, but the great thing to remember is that we never played bad or got desperate, it was as if we just thougt, 'okay, they score one, we score two', or something each time Blackburn scored.

But of course we couldn't allow the Rovers a lead into half-time, so van Persie made it 9 goals against Blackburn on 8 games, when Fabregas slipped the ball in great for van Persie to finish with style and class.
We weren't done yet though, Fabregas created a situation similiar to RvP's goal, but this time it was Arshavin who was basically free in the box and he didn't let us down.

So we were 3-2 up when the second half started, and it was a pretty troublesome start, David Dunn went down in our box, we were lucky to get away without having a penalty against us, but then we turned the game around, Fabregas had just passed the ball just outside the area, but he got it back, looked up and took his chance, and what a shot he managed! It was a perfectly put ball with hardly anything more than a light touch to it, and it went straight up in the top corner.
It was great for the skipper who had taken a lot of shots and obviously passed a lot of match winning balls.

And then it was time for Walcott to join the game, Rosicky got off after a great first start in the Premier League, and I am absolutely thrilled to see Walcott back in action after his back injury!
And it didn't take long for the young winger to open his Premier League account, Clichy put the ball towards Fabregas who extended it to Walcott, and the shot proved just what a great forward he will become.
With the game sealed, Wenger chose to exchange Fabregas and Arshavin for Ramsey and Bendtner, the great dane also opened his Premier League account with a stunning shot that bounced on the post.

And now Arsenal is the team that has scored the most goals in the Prem this season!
