Wolverhampton vs. Arsenal

4-1, Premier League, Molineux Stadium, 7/11 -09
Zubar 28 (og),
Eduardo* 35,
Fabregas 45,
Arshavin 65

This was a really tricky game, in the first 15-20 minutes Wolves kept up a great pace and we didn't come anywhere, everyones focus lay on Wolves set-pieces, but it was actually we who took the lead on a set-piece, Fabregas' corner went for Eduardo, who fought against Zubar, and Zubar got the ball on his thigh and it bounced into goal!
7 minutes later Eduardo was in action again when he got the ball from Ramsey on a counter-attack, his shot bounced off Craddocks head, and into goal!
And just before half-time we punctured the game when Sagna led another counter-attack, he found van Persie who passed it on to Fabregas and he scored easily on close-target.

In the second-half things quieted down a bit, we had 81% of the ball and began to chase a fourth, and it came, once again on a set-piece when Hennessey boxed Fabregas' corner out to Arshavin who took a shot and it went in!
So in the end it was a comfortable victory, but it was quite interesting, in half time, we were 3-0 up, but it said 3-2 on shots on target for Wolves! Of course it was because of the own goal, but still! xD

*Everybody classes the goal as a Craddock own goal, but I really don't think that it was an own goal, merely just a deflection.
