Arsenal 2 Manchester United 1
Arsenal and Man U always produces great game. Although there wasn't end to end stuff here tonight, it's still a good game to watch. Especially so if you are a Gunners fan... :D
Both side dominated in different periods throughout the game. Although the first half finished goalless, one could sense that a goal would surely come before the game ends. And it was Rooney again. Thats 5 goals in 11 games against the Gunners...
Now everytime when Arsenal concedes the first goal at home this season, the final score was 1-1. So you thought it wouldn't be so bad if that statistic remains. But as time went by, there was still no equalizer, just some half chances. The manager made an attacking switch and brought on 2 more attacking players. And the goal duly arrived in the 83rd minutes. Fabregas and Rosicky showed good determination to win possession and the latter's cross created the goal for Van Persie.
After the equalizer, the momentum certainly swung towards the home team. Now you began to think: "theres still time to go for the kill". I was silently hoping so, and I was not disappointed... In the final minute of stoppage time, Eboue sent in a superb cross after playing a neat 1-2 with Fab. And the skipper did even better to score with his head. Just when you think he had a quiet game, he simply popped out from nowhere to grab the winner. That's Thierry Henry for you.
Now after the results this weekend, the EPL is certainly getting more interesting.
