No, it’s not deja vu all over again. Indeed, thanks to goals by Adebayor, Flamini (sick goal too), and Cesc, the Gunners beat Newcastle 3-0 for the second time in three days.
Newcastle never really threatened, and to be fair, the Gunners could have been two or three up by halftime.
Mathieu Flamini was the outstanding player last night, setting up one goal and scoring another. The goal he scored was an absolute screamer into the upper 90 from about 30 yards out. A definite goal-of-the-season candidate to be sure.
Otherwise, the rest of the team weren’t really tested. Adebayor, like the song says, “Give him the ball, and he will score”. As for Cesc, well, it’s nice that he’s broken the duck. Perhaps now that he’s not thinking about it all the time, he’ll return to scoring a bit more regularly.
Saturday sees us travel to Man City. The Citizens are struggling as of late, so perhaps this is the best possible time to make this visit. Kickoff is an early one - 7:45 AM on the east coast, and the match is being broadcast live in the US on Setanta USA.
