Va va vrooming….Charlton away

Wow! What a start to the New Year. Beating Charlton 4-0. Well, Captain Marvel was well rested and he’s back…. feeling fresh and rejuvenated. Time for our opponents to start worrying.

A great turnout of 60, 057 saw the Gunners slaughtered the Addicks 4-0. The man of the hour was Captain Marvel. He was all over them. This guy sure looks fresh and can’t wait to set things right. He was at the heart of every great Arsenal moves and goals. He was the great motivator, the precise passer, or quite superbly, the Architect.

He scored from the spot after Van Persie got hauled down. After leading 1-0, and with Charlton playing with 10 men, the game was effectively over. The great Arsenal show was in overdrive….

Young Justin Hoyte received Henry's pass to notch his first ever goal just before half-time. In-form Robin Van Persie sent Arsenal to a 3-0 lead with a well-taken penalty around 15 minutes from time. The Dutchman scored his second and Arsenal’s fourth near the end of the match.

In fact, the entire Arsenal team were on fire and keeper Scott Carson was in fine form to keep the scoreline respectable for the Addicks. To be honest, Charlton hardly put up a fight after they were down to 10 men. It is quite a case of the opponents were so bad that made the Gunners looked so pretty good.

Not to take any thing away from the Gunners… it was a good performance. All well ends well. Pardew and Wenger even shook hands. No more the wild shove that Wenger gave him the other time at Upton Park.
