http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gervinho-c14755 scored the other two goals for the team.
The match kicked off with Arsenal creating a flurry of chances early on and it didn’t take long for the team to find the back of the net.
In the 7th minute of the game, a corner was whipped in by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santi-Cazorla-c32505 and after being nodded on, Vermaelen pounced and nodded the ball into the back of the net.
Just a few minutes later, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Oxlade-Chamberlain was taken down in the box and the referee went on to point straight to the spot.
Wanting to score against his former team, Lukas Podolski stepped up to dispatch the dead ball. After sending the keeper the wrong way, the German international saw his effort crash into the back of the net in the fifteenth minute of the game.
The German was at it again in the 43rd minute. He played a ball out wide to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kieran-Gibbs-c20945 and then dashed into the box to receive the return pass. Podolski then rifled his effort into the back of the net, leaving the keeper with no chance of stopping
his effort from finding the back of the net.
In the second half, the Arsenal fans caught a glimpse of just what Gervinho could really do. The Ivorian played a one-two with Podolski, before running down the left side of the pitch. He then went on to cut back inside and then fired a shot inside the near
post.
That goal saw the Gunners go up by four goals to nil, as they proved that they were already developing the right chemistry and were on course to having a successful Premier League season.
The positives that the team took back from the game, included the fact that their new signings had fit right into the team and that the North London club now had more depth than they would have ever imagined to have.
However, on the downside, players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marouane-Chamakh-c24294 didn’t make any claims to fight for a spot in the first team and could soon be offloaded by the club.
Nonetheless, it is now a wait to see if the team can perform in the same manner in the upcoming Premier League season.
