Song’s chip over the top to RvP for the game-winning volley was reminiscent of their connection earlier to defeat Everton. Simply class.
I meant to post this soon after it happened, but better late than never…especially for those of you who don’t follow soccer and may have missed Robin van Persie’s game winning volley for Arsenal vs. Everton. You’ll notice that US National Team goalkeeper, Tim Howard, doesn’t even move, knowing that if RvP connected as he planned, he didn’t stand a chance. What a beautiful pass from Song too. Fabregas-esque.
(why are EPL highlights so hard to find online? seriously.)
If you didn’t learn the first time, just look at RvP’s finish in yesterday’s match vs. Liverpool. Wow. The chest control was brilliant, the one touch completely fooled Carragher, and then the finish with his ‘weaker’ right foot was still a rocket. Bergkamp woulda been proud. Lastly, he tops it off by brushing off his shoulder? Aww man, phenomenal swag from RvP.
Before anyone says anything, yes, Keane’s finish was excellent too, and yes, it was still a draw that continues to reduce Arsenal’s title hopes. Since I enjoy watching all the ‘Big 4’ play, I just want it to be a tight race and the draw keeps it close enough heading in to the new year. LOL @ Howard Webb sending off Adebeyor for two normal fouls, meanwhile Lucas racked up about 11 fouls before getting his first booking though. GTFOH.
I’m shocked that Liverpool couldn’t get a goal against a 10 man Arsenal team that lost Fabregas at the half. If you’re going to be the champions, shouldn’t you take all 3 points there?
Yeah, it was offsides, but that finish was still ill. Plus, we all know Robin hates his right foot, so that makes it even doper. And “le double” on his more familiar left:
If the Gunners can play the mid-table teams the way they played Chelsea and Manchester United, this could be an incredible 4 team EPL title race. RvP’s the man. Shout to the homey Didier though…when he gets back in form, Chelsea should be the favorite.
