Back in a shout !!! After leading the EPL as Christmas leader, Arsenal then lost the lead and drop to 2nd behind Manchester United after being shut-out by Pompey at Fratton Park for a 0-0 draw. It was the first match in the league that the Gunners have failed to score. However, their stay at 2nd position proved to be just a small hiccup as they rediscovered their form to trashed Everton at Goodison Park 4-1. I'm feeling a bit nervous before the match as the Toffees have only lost once in their last 15 matches and they have beatent he Gunners 4 times from the last 7 matches at their own stadium.
Tim Cahill scored early for Everton on the 20th min and I have to admit they control and dominate the match not allowing Arsenal's free flowing football to take place. It stayed the same until half-time. I'm a bit worried for the Gunners at that time but was relieved as they come out looking fresh and much more dangerous after the break. Within 90 seconds of the restart, they equalized through Eduardo!!! He got his second goal minutes later and Arsenal were dominating and played much better football.
Although they were reduced to 10 men when Bendtner got his marching order for his 2nd yellow card, Arsenal continue to control and add further goals through Adebayor and then Rosicky in the injury time sandwiched Mikel Arteta's straight red card. Final score Eve 1-4 Ars !!!
With MU's 1-2 lost at Upton Park to West Ham, Arsenal are back to the summit of English Premier League table as leader come 2008...hooray....Keeping my fingers crossed for this to maintain till May 08....hahahaha...
