So far this has been a typical Arsenal game. Lots of possession, a few good chances and most importantly some unbelievable saves from the other goalie. No Arsenal stretch of play is complete without a few scares coming right down the heart of our central defense and this one’s no different: Bellamy should have scored when he split our central defense only to be denied by Alumunia’s left leg. Arsenal hit the crossbar via Walcott. Adebayor is on the bench but you would think should come on given Nicklas Bendtner’s subpar performance so far.

Good victory for the Gunners. West Ham’s attacks were very sporadic and few and far in between. Arsenal on the other hand were applying constant pressure and were very unlucky not to score. The Walcott substitution took me by surprise, he was creating a lot of problems with his pace on the right side and fully expected Bendtner to come off instead. Wenger knows best though and he introduced the combo of Adebayor and Diaby who worked well in tandem and replicated their success from Istanbul.

I thought RVP should’ve scored two goals in this game, I uploaded the two chances, one a brilliant quick-footed strike and the other a laser free kick that almost took the post off (Download :: Watch).

There’s the Emmanuel Adebayor post-match interview too.
