Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal ;D

OMG! Words cannot explain how happy I am! (:
Two goals from Van Persie within a span of 3 minutes seals victory (:
I thought Chelsea played quite well in the first half.
Even though they didn't create THAT many, they seemed in control of the game at that point of time.
An own goal from Djourou gave Chelsea the lead in the first half. I thought he actually had a good game..was unlucky to get the own goal.
I think Arsenal's defence was quite good. Last time, I would always fear that Arsenal wouldn't be able to control the long balls. But they did pretty well in this game regarding that (:
They were an aerial threat to Chelsea as they were mostly winning the headers throughout the game.
I think the Djourou-Gallas centre back partnership might just work out..it worked out pretty well in this game.
Arsenal's attack on the wings were pretty stifled in the first half. Nasri and Denilson weren't really able to attack fluidly on the wings but that changed in the second half. Clichy and Sagna went more forward in the second half as well. I think Arsenal's mentality changed quite a lot in the second half.
They seemed to be winning most of the balls and they aced the midfield battle. Arsenal's midfield was pretty inexperienced compared to Chelsea's 5-man midfield comprising of the likes of Deco, Lampard, Ballack, Mikel and Kalou.
But credit to Arsenal for the way the performed in the second half. And credit to Van Persie as well for those two goals (:
And also Ade who had a hand in both goals. The first goal was scored coming from an offside position. Its time Arsenal gets some luck regarding this anyway. Couple of years ago, Van Persie scored a goal against Chelsea from an onside position and yet, the goal got ruled out. So this time round its like..the other way round (:
And the second goal was an Ade assist that came from a Cesc Fabregas free kick. How many times have Arsenal played better but yet lost? Its about time Arsenal get some luck which they got in this match.
Everyone was pretty taken back that Arsenal scored cause Chelsea had a record of not conceding in the second half coming into this match. But there's always a first time (:
But I thought Arsenal played extremely well in the last fifteen minutes. Suddenly they were making great runs..most notably the one from Gael Clichy.
So I just hope that all of them would remember the last fifteen minutes of the match and continue that kind of performance for the forthcoming matches (:
I would give credit to William Gallas..I thought he had a great match (:
And Denilson played well even though he was played out of position on right wing. So doubters proved wrong again. But this should be the starting of something bigger (:
All the Arsenal players had an emotional celebration at the end of the match..they threw their jerseys to the crowd (:
Well..keep the spirit going, guys (:
I should not get too carried away by this result. Yes, its a good result but its just a result. Three points and thats it.
I thought Arsenal showed great mentality in coming from behind to win. So this winning mentality should continue. And also..this result will help their confidence. So its been a great weekend. (:
All right. I'm off now. Leaving for holiday on Thursday night (:
I am feeling quite lazy. And I am home alone at the moment..so basically, I am having a BLAST (:
Being the only child has its own advantages (:
All right. Off now.
BUH-BYEE!
