Samir Nasri scores twice as Arsenal beat Manchester United 2-1 in a thrilling encounter between the two giants of English football.
Arsenal 2-1 Man Utd
Nasri, I salute you (but as for Nicklas Bendtner - someone get him some shooting boots)....
I have to say "well done" to Arsenal - before the game, I honestly would have settled for a draw, and I didn't give them a snowball's hope in hell against Fergie & company, but to come out with all three points is nothing short of magnificent.
Remember this team was ravaged by injuries, low on confidence, and yet Arsenal beat the reigning champions of England and Europe, with their full strength team out. So our season isn't over yet.
However....beating Man United makes the recent results against Tottenham and Stoke harder to bear. Also, watching the match during injury time was heart stopping. I thought the lads would have learned their lesson after playing Tottenham (a result which still rankles with me). But there was no attempt to keep ball and no attempt to run the clock down. OK, we got away with it this time - but we really cannot continue to be this sloppy in the last 10 minutes when we are in the lead.
