FAB-ULOUS-GAS ARSENAL steadily climb up to second place in the English Premier League pipping former champions Manchester United on goal difference with an emphatic 4-1 victory against Wolves at the Molineux Stadium, yesterday.
As expected, Wolves did gave Arsene Wenger men under tremendous pressure in the first 20 minutes with hardworking Doyle and Ebanks causing havoc in the Arsenal defence. The home team looks certain to find the net after creating a few good scoring chances but did not take them.
Playing against team like Arsenal, Wolves should not squandered any scoring opportunities cause they will paid heavy price and the 4-1 defeat demonstrated to that. They did start brightly but when Arsenal took the lead everything began to fall apart.
Direct from a corner-kick by captain's Cesc Fabregas, Wolves defender Zubar who was under pressure by Eduardo deflected the ball into his own net.
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy may thought it just a normal hiccup for his team but was profoundedly tightlips when Arsenal got their second eight minutes later. From a quick counter-attack Fabregas through pass ran straight into Aaron Ramsey path. The young Welsh international finds unmarked Eduardo, later chip in struck Craddock head's flew past Hennessy.
With a two goal lead, the visitor are in cruise control. Not to force anything they gradually absorbing the pressure well waiting for the right moment to launch another Arsenal trademark quick counter attack for their third goal.
The young Spaniard started and finished off another fine breathtaking move combines with Robin Van Persie and Sagna, cooly stuck in the ball into the net with simpilicity and yet so lethal to frustrated the home crowd.
In the second half, Andre Arshavin got his name on the scoresheet. The Russian cooly slot home first time on the volley with great technique. Wolves then got their consolation through Craddock from a corner kick late in the match. The goal may trigger Arsene Wenger to find a solution to overcome their weakness in his side giving in late late goal in a match before the take on big teams like Chelsea, Manchester United or Liverpool.
With Arsenal currently in great form, there might be a trophy just around the corner after four years barren spell.

Arsenal must stop giving late goals
First 20 minutes against Wolves..makes me shiver
could arsenal win next match?
does arsene wenger kept secret tactics to sustain winning track
Next match away to Stadium of Light Sunderland..sure one Arsenal going to win..provided those players playing for their countries in the world cup play-off doesn't get injured
no such secret tactics..Arsenal are transparent..open and beautiful football..enjoy to watch..thrill the fans who came to watch & buy tickets..value for money
this time arsenal will win by a narrow goal perhaps. key player might be lock/mark by Sunderland.
tackling would overshadow the art and beauty of football.
if bad luck happens, this game could be draw. then the loop can give an advantage to Chelsea after this game....
on other situation, Man U are keep chasing arsenal... if DRAW! bad luck for Arsenal
I don't think Steve Bruce will adopt that kind of football. Sunderland are playing at home. The have lost 2 game in a rows. They need points to improve their standings and stand a chance playing UEFA cups. So u want points..u need to attack..attacking is the best form of defending.
That is football..sometimes u need luck to win..even a one goal is enough for Arsenal..3 points in the bag that is good enough.A draw..well is not that bad since u are playing away...still u are within that top four but u must remember Arsenal has a game in hand. If they win against Sunderland and beat Chelsea at home come they new league leaders.
