Everton vs. Arsenal

2-1, Premier League, Goodison Park, 14/11 -10
Sagna 35,
Fabregas 47

Three very big points gained in this game, three big points gained in midweek, as well as Chelsea losing and both Manchester United and Manchester City dropping points too, it's been a good week after an extremely bad week for us.
As mentioned I have been away, and it seems the squad was a bit away as well, but now we're back on track after two vital wins!
Marouane Chamakh scored in the first and last minute against Wolves to win the game for us, but credit to Lukasz Fabianski for keeping us in in both of the games!

The first half was even, but looking at the chances that both teams created, ours were slightly better, so we deserved to go into the second half being 1-0 up.
The goal was very well taken, from the one person you probably wouldn't expect to score, Sagna pops up in the box and beautifully scores from a tight angle! His second goal in 147 appearances for the club, with Andrey setting up the goal nicely.

We got exactly what we needed immediately after the break, some quick passes at the edge of the box suddenly gave captain Cesc Fabregas enough space to get a shot away, and it went straight for the far post.
After that we looked quite comfortable, until the last five minutes, then Everton started to build up pressure and eventually (naturally) got a goal, but we dug in and managed to get away with the three points, and as both Chelsea and United dropped points, we are not only two points away from Chelsea, but also in 2nd place!
