Arsenal vs. Sunderland

2-0, Premier League, Emirates, 20/2 -10
Bendtner 27,
Fabregas 90 + 3 (pen)

Brilliant display, but we really should have scored some more goals! We had tons of chances, but eventually the big numbers will come, I'll be waiting for them!

We totally dominated the game, Sunderland had perhaps two or three real good goalscoring opportunities, compared to the fact that we had perhaps fifteen or something, so you can't say that we didn't deserve all the points! And the victory taste all the more sweet since United lost at Goodison earlier today! So now we are only 2 points after United, still 6 after Chelsea though.

It took a little while to break the deadlock, and it was great that Bendtner finally got a goal after his innjury, he if someone needed it, but credit goes to Eboue, who made it soooo easy for the Dane.
Walcott started the game, and he seems to be getting better and better in every game, it really is nice to see, he just kept on running past the defence!

But they really left it late! But with a minute left, the business was done, when Cesc was brought down in the area, he finished it himself, beautifully placed in the corner, not with power, but with finesse.

So to sum it up, we are back in the road after some disappointment in the Champions League.

Injury Update;
-Song and Almunia returned to the starting eleven, but Gallas, Arshavin, Eduardo and Diaby were still out, hopefully they will make the trip to Stoke next Saturday, we will most certainly need a solid defence and some height for that game
