Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea
Arsenal scored 3 goals in a 2-1 win over Chelsea at the Bridge.
Many of you have surmised that one of these was an own goal, and was indeed the first of two trashy goals scored in this match. The first was the own-goal from Djourou that was frankly the fault of keeper Almunia. I’m not sure if his bleached hair is affecting his judgment, or is simply an indicator of it. After a terrible redistribution, Djourou was forced to scramble in a slide to stop a cross from the Blue. Instead he slipped one past off the bottom of his shoe. Whoops.
Next came a missed call from the ref and an obvious offside by Van Persie, although the shot itself was a thing of wonder. We’re now tied at 1-1.
But the THIRD goal, ooh la la. Van Persie slides a beauty into the side net, through the legs of (I think?) John Terry. A 2-1 victory for the otherwise stumbling Arsenal, and a due chink in the Chelsea armor.
