Leeds vs. Arsenal

3-1, the FA-cup, Elland Road, 19/1 -10
Nasri 5,
Sagna 34,
van Persie 76

It seems that when we really need to win we don't have any problem doing it, this evening we played some brilliant football throughout the entire game, pretty much the opposite to how things looked in the home game.

We got off to a really good start, when you break the deadlock after five minutes that is generally known as a good start! Nasri once again showed his brilliance when he more or less ran through the Leeds defense and put the ball past the 'keeper.
About half an hour later we extended our lead through an amazing strike from Sagna, his second goal of the season!
Three minutes later Leeds got one back, another amazing strike from a distance.

The game slowed down in the second half, and about midway through Cesc and Robin was brought on from the bench to help seal the game, which they did, Fabregas passed the ball to Bendtner, who provided a pin-point pass for van Persie to get his head at!

We will face Huddersfield at home in the 4th round.

Injury Update:
-Fabianski has been unable to shake off a shoulder injury, but will most probably be back for the weekend's game against Wigan
