Gunning For A Win
What a peculiar half. Arsenal dominated throughout, and went in front as early as the second minute via the Walcott-Van Persie combo, the latter scoring. But, out of nowhere, Pedersen fired in a glorious free-kick. Then, Arsenal rallied, with Van Persie scoring a second, thanks to another assist from Walcott. The Ox soon got in on the act, latching onto a delicious pass from RVP, to score his first league goal for the Gunners. Oh, and Givet got sent off. Mountain to climb for Kean and his men.

Hanley stumbles on the ball in the centre. Henry scampers clear and
passes to Van Persie, who squares it back. The Frenchman shoots, it gets
a deflection, and bobbles in. Possibly an OG.
FULL-TIME: Arsenal 7-1 Blackburn.
Well, well, well. Eight goals in a rather emphatic win, albeit against
10-man Rovers. A hat-trick for Van Persie while a brace from the Ox, who
was superb, helped fire the Gunners to a rampant and much-needed win,
their first league triumph of 2012. Thanks for joining me.
