Arsenal 3-0 Hull City
3rd place,3 goals,3 points.That’s the summation of this victory.If we win our game in hand,we could be in second place.
However,Gunners didn’t cruise to the victory as Tigers gave us a good fight throughout the game.The game’s pace started to pick up only in the first-half’s additional time when there’re some real fight between the players.The fight started when Nasri “knocked” one of Hull’s players and Hull’s players came to push Nasri around.Consequently,Arsenal’s Nasri and Hull’s Zayatte got a yellow card each.
However,the free-kick given to us proved decisive when Denilson kicked the ball past the ball as well as goalkeeper to give Gunners a 1-0 lead before the first-half ended.
In second-half,the game continued in high gear as both teams attacked and defended against each other.Tigers was close to get their equalizer when Silvestre pulled Fagan’s clothes in the penalty box and penalty kick was awarded to Hull.However,Geovarni’s penalty-kick was easily saved by Almunia.
Geovarni’s missed chance was punished just three minutes later when Eduardo easily popped the ball from Arshavin’s cross into Hull’s net to make Gunners lead by 2 goals to nil.From that on,Hull’s hope to wrest at least a point looked microscopic.
Gunners continued their possession and got a lot of chances from their created play and build-up.However,there’s only one goal was produced when Arshavin’s pass managed to reach Diaby’s foot.The goalkeeper managed to held Diaby’s shot but the ball’s force still strong enough to put itself to the net and confirmed Arsenal’s 3 points from this game.
A good game for us I must say.Almunia should get Man Of the Match for his save against Geovarni’s penalty kick.Had he failed to save the penalty,the game could go against us.
This weekend is a good weekend too for us.Although we don’t manage to get rid of Aston Villa and rival Spur’s pressure on us,but we managed to close the gap between us and Devils.Devils’ 3-0 defeat at Craven Cottage means that we are just 2 points behind Man United with a game in hand.That’s bang on on our title race.
