Woohoo, a 3-0 victory over spurs at Emirates Stadium.
In actual fact, we didn’t play that well. The first 40 minutes we had a lot of misplaced passes, and players looked nervous. Then al of a sudden, a goal came from nowhere. A seemingly harmless low cross from Sagna was met by RVP and RVP scored. Its more of a lapse of concentration in Spurs defence, combined with one moment of brilliance from RVP, who missed a few easy chances earlier on.
Then, within minutes, Captain Fabregas scored a fabulous solo goal. He intercepted a pass, dribbled pass a few Spurs players and unleashed a powerful shot that went straight into Spurs’ net. From then onwards, I knew victory is gonna belong to us.
The third goal was again due to some confusion in Spurs defence, and Sagna was again the one making the assist. Good work from him, and hoped he could keep up the standard as I always thought Sagna was a bit one-dimensional in his attacking play.
In defence, Almunia didn’t have a lot to do. Gallas and Vermaelen worked hard to contain Crouch and Keane. Sagna was solid in defence and gotten two assists in attack. Clichy didn’t make any mistakes either. In midfield, Song looked a bit nervous in the first half, but slowly stamped his authority in midfield in second half. Cesc got a wonder goal, so kinda make up for the few losses in possessions he given away cheaply. Diaby was…..still the same old Diaby. The front three, Bendtner had done well before his injury, Arshavin was dangerous in the first half but faded in the second, while RVP gotten two goals. Eduardo had some terrible misses which I really expected him to put away. Substitutes Eboue and Ramsey were decent, other than that chance which Ramsey screwed up or else we would be 4-0 up. But that’s still within acceptable range for a teenage player, and Ramsey obviously had the talent and physical attributes to make it in EPL.
We were now third in league, with one game in hand which if won would have overtaken Man United to second place. The loss of Liverpool and draw of Man City would also means that we are more secured of a top four place right now.
