Arsenal 3 - 0 Tottenham Hotspur Highlights EPL
Arsenal had their first effort on target on the quarter hour as William Gallas narrowly missed with a header from a dangerous Van Persie free-kick. Heurelho Gomes then earned his Tottenham paycheck as the giant keeper needed every inch of his frame to shuffle across his line and one-handedly save Fabregas’ shot. After the Gunners had the lions’ share of the first half they made their possession count with two goals in two minutes. Bacary Sagna’s low cross from the right was converted by Robin van Persie into Gomes’ near post. And for the kick-off Spurs’ Palacios immediately lost the ball, inviting an incredible solo run from Cesc Fabregas that saw the Arsenal captain rip through their arch enemy for Arsenal’s second. Just before the hour, after Bentley had forced a smart save from Almunia, Arsenal scored a killer and controversial third as ref Clattenberg allowed play to continue after Diaby was taken out by Bale, and from Sagna’s cross Gomes and King failed to stop Van Persie adding his second of the game.
