Storming to the top

In a season where Arsenal would be Henry-less, expected to be reeling and all sorts… viola, the Gunners are top of the Premiership after the London Derby.

My heart almost stopped when Gareth Bale took a superb free kick and sent Spurs in the lead at half-time. I was really feeling down at half-time. I wasn’t sad for long… the second half display was awesome.

Emmanuel Adebayor gave a towering performance. He equalized by jumping in front of Paul Robinson and headed home for the equalizer. Of course, Spurs did have their chances to extend their lead….luckily, they didn’t convert their chances in this free flowing derby.

Fab4 continued his goal scoring run by drilling home a 30-yard drive for Goal No. 2. The best of the 3 goals came late….Adebayor flick the ball up and a thunderous volley on the turn. Now, that’s what I call audacious.

Interesting derby. The ever-reliable Gilberto was a bit groggy in defence. Not sure if it was the midweek transatlantic journey for Brazil. Blondie Almunia running out of his area to nowhere in a heart-stopping moment, expensive Darren Bent miskicking, Le Boss’s first game since signing a new 3-year extension contract and that 30-yard boom.
