This game spoke volumes...
Before the kick-off we knew this was going to be something of a game and it sure was, both Villa and Arsenal diddn't dissapoint.
after going one-nil down Arsenal showed a master class in football getting two goals before half-time making sure we went into the break ahead of a solid looking Villa.
Flamini, Hleb, Rosicky and Adebayor were great in the first half causing Villa trouble here there and everywhere. Flamini's goal was a cracker and it gave the players that little extra boost, in the last 15 minutes on the first-half and we all could see that the second goal was coming.
Adebayor played alot better than previous games and it was good to see him score, the goal also puts him joint top scorer in the league.
It was a great goal which was created with great build up play with the perfect cross taken with the perfect header.
In the second half we saw a diffrent Arsenal, not a team who couldn't get going nor was it a team who looked shakey and despratily held on for three points, it was a team who got stuck in and kept an ever present Villa at bay. Villa have been on great form in resent weeks and it was no suprise for them to come out and battle hard but a solid Arsenal defence did the job (with a bit of luck at times aswell) but you need to have that luck sometimes.
In most games this season our second half perfomance has won us the game because of late goals but this time our second half perfomance won us the game for diffrent reasons, its been said already in past seasons we would have crumbled but once again we proved we have grown up and have more than just the one style of play.
Next up Newcastle away and although they seem to be having a hard time of late this wont be an easy away game but one im fully confident of getting 3pts...
COME ON ARSENAL
