Arsenal 4 - 0 Portsmouth

This match wasn’t televised here in the US, but I was able to keep tabs via text messages. I got texted six times in just under 50 minutes! Yes, Arsenal scored four goals in the first half to earn just their second league win of the month of December. Dennis Bergkamp opened the scoring just seven minutes in. Five minutes later, Jose Antonio Reyes got his second goal in as many matches. Thierry Henry then broke his five game scoring drought by scoring twice before the half was out.

That was pretty much it, but from all accounts, Mathieu Flamini had the best game of his Arsenal career, while ex-skipper Patrick Vieira looked on from the stands.

Next match is away at Aston Villa on Saturday. Kickoff is at 7:30 AM ET, and the match is being broadcast live here in the States on Fox Soccer Channel.
