Bursting Sven's bubble

A match of firsts….first team to beat Man City, first to break Kasper Schmeichel’s 3-match old clean sheet record. The Gunners sure outplayed Man City for long spells during the match.

Thank God….Fab4’s rocket shot flew in 10 minutes from time. The young Schmeichel had earlier saved Van Persie’s penalty kick.

Fairly, there was enough chances for both teams to kill off the game. I thought the Gunners were once again, doing that continuous passing game and yet again or sometimes, hesitating to shoot. Hey, it’s not that it was bad. It was pretty to watch. Finally, it was thru Hleb on the right that fed Fabregas for that emphatic thunderbolt shot.

Richard Dunne and Micah Richards were stretched, yet they were excellent in Man City’s backline. Blondie Almunia had to make several saves during the match, luckily, it was routine enough for him.

A win that comes with defensive costs. Senderos and Sagna are injured. Not forgetting Gallas. Nonetheless, another 3 points in the bag for the Gunners.
