Arsenal v Spurs : 5 Conclusions
2009 November 1
 |
VS |  |
| V. Persie 42′ | ||
| Fabregas 43′ | ||
| V.Persie 60′ |
- Van Persie is highly underrated. He can score in and around the box, create chances for others and score off free kicks and yet isn’t labeled as a deadly striker.
- Fabregas’ goal was simply superb. Made it 2-0. [Watch both the goals here]
- Bentley can still make an impact and deserves more chances. Even if it is in the Carling Cup.
- Arsenal complete a decade of dominance over their London rivals. Spurs haven’t beaten the “Big four” in the last 65 away games. Top four for them? Nothing to show of it.
- BIG London derby? Eh, not so much.

Maybe he is a better playmaker than striker? I am sure he can operate as a striker as well..
In all honesty, I believe plenty of Arsenal’s players can play as creative midfielders and strikers too. We saw Theo Walcott playing on the right midfield and also play as a lone striker on many occasions.
Ledley King s fitness was the difference between the two teams. I have never seen him play so poorly. He always stands up and was on his backside for all 3 goals. It was sad to see as he is such a good player

Ledley King’s injuries have been the reason for his poor form and poor display. He rarely plays and isn’t capable of playing more than one game a week.
