Arsenal vs. Leyton Orient

5-0, the FA-cup 5th Round Replay, Emirates, 2/3 -11
Chamakh 7,
Bendtner 30, 43, 62 (pen),
Clichy 75

And we're off to Old Trafford once again!
Great game from the team, it contained all a fan could ever want, lots of goals and opportunities to score even more goals! Also great to see that Bendtner seems to find his goalscoring form, he will be needed even more now that van Persie will be gone for at least another three weeks...

As you might've guessed we dominated this game throughout and once again Miquel started the game, this time he was joined by Conor Henderson, who made his first team debut tonight actually! And he certainly had a good game, he is someone to keep an eye out for.

After just seven minutes we broke the deadlock through Chamakh, Rosicky did great to provide a pin-point pass through which the Moroccan international could easily tap in.
Half an hour into the game Bendtner more or less sealed the game when he headed home a cross, the ball went in a perfect arch over the 'keeper.
Just thirteen minutes later Bendtner were at it again, this time he cut inside from the left-hand side and placed the ball beautifully in the back of the net, we have seen him do this before, for example the one he scored against Ipswich at the Emirates earlier this season.

In the second half we slowed down a bit, but when Gibbs showed some great footwork in the box he proved too fast for the defense to handle, so when he was brought down Bendtner stepped forward to complete his hat-trick with an excellent strike from the penalty spot.
Shortly afterwards he was replaced by Wilshere, but that certainly didn't spoil the evening for the young Dane.
Clichy finished the scoring this evening with a great strike from a cross from Eboue which both Chamakh and Wilshere had previously skipped over. This was actually only the Frenchman's second official goal for us!

So after the trip to Barcelona next week we will be heading to Old Trafford!

Injury Update;
-van Persie damaged his knee during the final, and he will be missing for at least another three weeks... Its obviously a huge blow for us...
-Rosicky had to be replaced after 62 minutes after receiving a blow to the head, no idea yet though how long he will be.
