THE GUNNERS VERSES THE TOFFEES.

The match on the first day of 2009-2010 season between Arsenal and Everton was the most eagerly waited match , as Arsenal came 4th and Everton 6th last year. Arsenal had sold bioth striker Emanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure to Manchester city. It was mgame bound to have a few goals in it. The first goal was scored by the brazilian Denilson it had all the class and Brazilian magic in it it was scored from 27 feet kick ,ending in the top cornerof the net. There were two headed goals from their deffender William Gallas and debutant Thomas Vermaelen. Cesc Fabregas scored a brace as well, and the icing on the cake was put on by Eduardo Dsilva , who came to play after the leg was broken by Martin Taylor over a year ago. A shot bounced of the post to be tapped in by the poacher Eduardo. The team was watched as they had gone four years without a trophy , and they sold a striker as well and Toure in deffence. This was the biggest defeat by Everton at the hands of Arsenal, and thi is the biggest score scored by a E.P.L team on the opening day ever. But so upset were the Everton fans that some went home at half time , when the score was 3-0. but there was still a suprise Luis Saha came in and scored a consolation goal in injury time so it ended 6-1. But one thing was clear Tim Howard was not at fault in letting the goals in. As they were all classy goals. Fabregas held out a arsenal jersey with the name of Dani Jarque , who was his friend died of a heart attack recentlyit had danis number21.

ARSENAL VERSES VILLARREAL.

The second leg of this years quarter finals between Arsenal and Villarreal, was eagerly watched by the Arsenal fans at the Emirate stadium. It brought memories of the match in which Jens Lehman, the Arsenal goalkeeper saved a penalty from the Villarreal free kick specialist Juan Ramon Riiquelme. Arsenal only had away goal , as the first leg ended 1-1. Arsenal had a major problem , as their defence was in a bad shape, with Sagna down with a virus and Gael Glichy and William Gallas out for a long time . Wenger then did a patch up job and Mikael Silvestre and a few new ones took the field.
Arsenal dominated and decided with these injuries attack would be the best thing to do, and they did it well. The main idea was to feed Cesc Fabregas the ball who made good passes to Theo Walcott, on the wings and Theos speed and passes were scaring Villarreal players. The question was not will a goal be scored but when would a goal be scored. The goal came early in the first half , Walcott callected a chip pass from Cesc Fabregas and very coolly chiped the ball over the goalkeeper into the corner of the net. The second goal was scored by Emanuel Adebayor , he first controled the ball , and then scored with the outside of the right foot. And here is a small fact not very well known that. Everytime Emanuel Adebayor has scored a goal , Arsenal has never lost that match.
Then sadly Arsenal were given a penalty , but the Villarreal player Sebastin Eguren argued with the referee over the penalty , and it ended in a red card for Sebastin Eguren in the 67th minute. Robin Van Persie calmly converted the penalty and Arsenal were 3-0 , in the 69th minute and Villarreal played tjhe rest of the game with only ten players.
