Arsenal vs. AZ Alkmaar

4-1, Champions League, Emirates, 4/11 -09
Fabregas 26, 53,
Nasri 43,
Diaby 72

'A brillant performance' was the boss' reaction to this win, and who would be stupid enough to say that he's wrong!
Really a great game and some amazing football (as usual) from us, but we never looked like conceding until we were like 4-0 up, then they had 2 chances or something.
And Nasri got a great goal at his debut back from injury! And our very own Captain Fantastic seems to have found his goalscoring form!

The first from Fabregas was a very well placed shot that rolled in just by the post, and we just kept on playing as brilliant as i'm starting to belive only we can do! the second wasn't long to come and it was a great pass by Arshavin to Nasri who fooled the defence and fired it home!
In the second half we just kept doing our business, and after some great running and passing, Arshavin found Fabregas basically free from his defender, and he cooly fired it home.
Fabregas and van Persie were replaced by, respectively, Ramsey and Eduardo in the 67th minute.
The fourth came when Eduardo brilliantly backheeled the ball to Arshavin who passed to Diaby, and he could easily finish with style.
Ahead of the game though, there was some bad news, Clichy has picked up a similiar injury like the one that kept him sidelined for the end of last season, it isn't a bad replacer though, now Gibbs will have a lot of playing time for Capello to watch.
