EPL: Arsenal vs Porthsmouth (2nd May 2009) – Review
Bendtner & Walcott
After a very harsh email to Arsenal after the Champions League Semi Final Against Manchester United, I calmed down a bit and was all excited for another weekend match at the Emirates Stadium.
Sat on my couch, turned on the TV and switched to Star Sports. It was interesting to see eight changes in the side with more young players given a chance against Portsmouth. The big guys were rested for the mid-week Champions League second leg at the Emirates Stadium, which was a good move since we were already on a secure 4th position which was further confirmed after the win today.
Alex Song played as a central defender alongside Djourou, and having Arshavin in the squad is turning out to be a match booster. It was good to see Carlos Vela back into the squad, and Aaron Ramsey was given a start as well. Great game play by Arsenal and the young lads took over the game with a 3-0 win over Portsmouth with Bendtner grabbing two goals, first scoring with his head in the 10th minute and then on a penalty just before halftime. Vela’s strike got the third goal in the 56th minute and even though Portsmouth did try to fight back, but they were not really able to convert the chances that they got.
Good defending, great passing, classy Arsenal moves, counter attacks and great Arsenal passion lead to this win. All in all was a great come back and it feels great with 21 unbeaten matches in the Premiere League. I hope we can stay the whole season unbeaten next year and win the league to be crowned the new “young” invincibles. Would be a great achievement really.
Arsene has done built a great young team and this team is going to go a long way.
