Arsene Wenger, the manager of Arsenal, said that he is extremely pleased with the way his team played against Birmingham. The Gunners’ boss said that the match against Birmingham was by no means a simple one but his young team showed good mental and physical
toughness to get through and come away with a 3-0 win.
Dutch striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roger-Johnson-c31524 headed in an own goal. The win keeps Arsenal within touching distance of the league leaders, Manchester United.
While talking to the media after the game, Wenger said that his team came out on top in almost all aspects of the game. He added that his team was not bothered when Birmingham tried to take the physical approach. Wenger said that his young team showed good
strength and tenacity to match their opponents stride by stride.
The Frenchman said that overall it was an amazing game, and his team looks to be getting stronger and stronger in every match.
Wenger said: "The game was played at such a high pace that it is very difficult to speak about every free-kick that was given or not... Overall I don't think you can dispute this win because we had so many chances. We played at a fantastic pace with great
desire and great togetherness and that's what I would like to keep from the game."
Arsenal went into the game with some bad memories from their past encounters at the same fixture. Eduardo got his leg broken in the same match 2 years ago and this match also started with some dangerous tackles flying in. Back in 2008, the defeat to Arsenal
at Birmingham was believed to be a big one, especially because after that draw their title challenge faded away and captain at the time, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/William-Gallas-c36874, did the infamous one man sit-out protest after the match.
This time around, though, Arsene Wenger’s team did look up for the challenge and were not at all intimidated by the rash tackles by Birmingham. This also proved a point that Arsenal can come on top even in testing conditions, which does send out a strong
message to their title rivals. The win was also crucial for Arsenal as Manchester United and Chelsea both dropped points on the weekend.
Chelsea went to St. Andrews to play Birmingham in November and lost the game, while Manchester United also went home with just a point last week.
Arsenal has done well in the busy festive season, and has managed to get 9 points which also includes the massive 3-1 win against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 at home.
Arsenal is now 3rd in the Premier League table, trailing Manchester United by two points but has also played a game more. Manchester City is in second place but has played two more games than their city rivals.
Arsenal is now third in the table, two points behind Manchester United and Manchester City. Leaders, Manchester United have played a game less than Arsenal, while City have played a game more.
While commenting on the busy schedule in the festive season, Wenger said that it was not an easy time. He said playing Chelsea and then playing Wigan in 2 days time is never easy, but he is glad that his team still managed to get through with good results.
