Arsenal 3 – 1 Sp*rs

Keane talked smack but Arsenal domination marches on.

The story of this match was manager substitutions. Wenger brings o­n Rosicky to replace a player on the “periphery” (-Andy Gray), Walcott. He immediately energizes the Arsenals attack, setting up Adebayor (77), then scoring the clincher (22 ET). That was the MOTM performance. Rosicky was that senior element Arsenal needed to drive the goals and win this game.

Jol on the other hand subbed out Gardner (yellow card) and brought on his shiny new CB Rocha. Rocha slipped with his clearance which allowed Aliadiere to pounce for a ripper (15 ET) to go up 2-1.Sp*rs only goal came after Denilson gave up a FK which allowed Mido to out-jump Toure for the header.
