Arsenal failed to cherish the opportunity to get 6 points ahead of Manchesters United, with a draw with the Newcastle united. This draw makes them have a less secured lead of 4 points ahead of the Red Devils. Goal of Magpies' Steven taylor equalised the score and dashed Arsenal's hope of having a secured lead over Manchesters United.
Around the 4th minute of the game, Manuel Aluminia made a dazzling clearance into the opponent's territory. The defensive Ivorian wing-back, crossed the ball from the right, into the opponent's penalty area. Emmanuel Adebayor focused onto the descending ball and chest the ball. Using his right foot, he did a rvishing lob over Shay Given(Newcastle's goalkeeper).
The ball rose through the air and above Given, before it descends and accelerates towards the goal. The gunners then exploded with euphoric roars as Adebayor dashed towards Eboue, cuddling him warmly with loving affections.
Ever since the depart of the talismanic French striker, Thierry Henry, rumours has it that Arsenal cannot survive in the English premier League. However, based on this season's results, it convinced all of us that Arsenal's youngsters are still doing a splendid job in the EPL. It also proves to us that the youngsters have the dexterity to take over the previous generations of renowned footballers. This includes Adebayor fitting into those big shoes of Thierry Henry, Robin Van Persie to replace the flying dutchman, Dennis Bergkamp and not forgetting, the Spanish midfielder, Francesc Fabregas taking over the duties of Arsenal's ex-captain, Pattrick Vieira.
4 minutes before the end of the first half, Newcastle's new signning from Manchesters City, Joey Barton, was booked with a yellow card. Joey Barton should feel lucky that it is just a yellow card but not the red.
He was notorious and infamous for his rough tacklings and aggressions in english football. Months ago, he was accused of breaking into a fight with another footballer in England. His juvenile acts caused him to be banned from the pitch. This incident also caused Man City to sell him to Newcastle.
At the 45th minute, beofre the whistle sounded for the end of the first half, Arsenal's attacking midfielder, Lassana Diarra, was flashed with a yellow card from his violent tackles.
The gunners then maintained the 1-0 triumph over Newcastle for the first half.
In the 60th minute, Steven Taylor, dashed Arsenal's hopes of having 6 points lead over the Red Devils. The equlizer caused the gunners fans to be dejected and the gunners themselves to trudge through the football pitch with frustration.
In the 90th minute, the refree,Mike Dean (Wirral), blows the whistle and this declares the end of the 90 minute game. The 50,305 spectators then started to rise from their seats and took their leave, after the 90 minute of entertaining football.
On 9 Decemebr 2007, Arsenal will be playing its next fixtures against Middlesbrough. Will the young gunners obliterate their opponents like the way they did it 2 seasons ago, with a 7-0 victorious triumph over Middlesbrough? Then remember to tune in to the VanRamos football reports for Arsenal the next time.
