Again, due to the my absurdly busy weekend, there’s no time for much ruminating on yesterday’s events, but I will be able to do that tomorrow. Needless to say, this is a good win. Over on my twitter-based coverage of the game, I tipped Bendtner to score, and the Dane obliged with a thumping header from Arshavin’s free-kick. We then allowed Martins to grab an immediate equaliser, before Vieira and Pires-esque strikes from Diaby and Nasri put the game beyond doubt. Had our finishing been better, we could’ve scored more.
The pressure is now on Aston Villa, who face a highly-motivated Liverpool today.
Proper blog tomorrow.
