Arsenal 4 Van Persie, Adebayor 3
Last season the visit to Ewood Park spelt the end of Jens Lehmann's time with Arsenal after he let slip a long range effort by David Dunn as Arsenal were forced to share the points that afternoon. This time around it was completely the opposite as the Gunners ran out easy winners and by a scoreline which was quite unexpected.
Theo Walcott continued from where he left at the Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb on Wednesday with another display of confidence and maturity. Despite not getting on the scoresheet himself, the run that he made which opened the path for Robin Van Persie to score was certainly crucial.
The lead gave Arsenal confidence and despite not increasing the lead until late into time added on at the end of the half, Arsene Wenger's men were never in any real danger as they seized control of the proceedings.
The three goals scored by Manu Adebayor did take a few chunks of my 'dislike' for him. I do not know when it will be completely gone, perhaps it never will but as long as he is doing the job for Arsenal then it is fine by me.
So it is the long trip to Kiev now and hopefully the result there would be great for us Gooners.
