Premier League Match Report: Arsenal vs Sunderland – Part 2
Following the break, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 tried their best to get back into the game as they tried to reclaim their domination on the game.
In the 50th minute of the game, Walcott managed to make a rare contribution to the game as he played a low cross into the box. The ball zipped off a number of players and required Mingolet to make an instinctive save to prevent the ball from finding
an Arsenal player.
In the 65th minute of the game, Rosicky played Van Persie on with a brilliant pass. The striker then struck an effort towards the near post, but saw Mingolet catch his effort with ease. Had the forward opted to play http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gervinho-c14755 on with a pass, then
the Ivorian would have has the simplest of tap ins to score off, of.
In the 74th minute, Arshavin danced his way into the box and then past three defenders. Unfortunately for him and the Gunners, his final strike at goal managed to flash past the wood work and failed to test Mingolet at all.
In the 83rd minute, as the game headed into the closing stages of the game, Arsenal won a free kick in a very dangerous area. The free kick awarded to the Gunners was much more angled than the one Larsson scored from. Van Persie, who was Arsenal’s
man of the hour, stepped up to take the resulting kick. He then bent in an unstoppable effort into the top corner of the goal, as he helped Arsenal pick up the two goals to one lead.
Despite the referee adding five minutes at the end of the game, the Gunners shaky defence managed to hang onto their lead, as the North London team picked up all three points from the game.
