Arsenal vs. Wigan

3-0, Premier League, Emirates, 22/1 -11
van Persie 21, 59, 85

The score-line should've read six or seven-nil, this must've been the best game I've seen in terms of missing chances, you'd really have to see it to know what I'm talking about! Especially in the first half! At least it is good to know that van Persie is back in form for this part of the season.

As you'd probably have understood by now we were in total control from start to finish, we had two amazing chances to score when Theo twice provided with brilliant crosses from his right-hand side, though the Wigan 'keeper got a hand out to deny van Persie and a couple of minutes later a defender just got in the way of Fabregas' shot.
But we got our lead when Song found van Persie in the box with a brilliant pass, and the Dutchman didn't disappoint with the finish!

We didn't manage to extend the lead in the first half even though we had tons of chances, and we started the second rather slow, but eventually worked our way back in the game.
The second goal came when Cesc spotted van Persie and provided a stunningly perfect pass to him, and once again Robin showed why he is our no. 10.
We were given a golden opportunity to extend the lead about midway through when we were awarded with a penalty after Cesc was brought down in the box, van Persie stepped up to get a hat-trick, but his shot went over! You don't see Robin missing penalties often, this was one of the few occasions.

Though with five minutes left he got his hat-trick, Fabregas once again provided a pin-point pass, this time to Walcott, who generously gave van Persie a shot at a third of the day, and Robin finished the day off with yet another brilliant strike!

Injury Update;
