Fortune favours the Brave as Chelsea gallops at Highbury

Nothing else can explain it.
The way Arsenal played the first half an hour was simply ecstatic.The Gunners were really quick. The passing was so fast that the men in blue just couldnt reach it. Chelsea was playing well, but Arsenal really played better.

Henry was the first unlucky one, with his shot going out after hitting the upright. And the a Goal by van Persie being disallowed was a shock, heart break for all the Arsenal fans. With every EPL watchers expecting them to do the wonders, Arsenal nearly lived to their expectations. But the story turned tragic with Robben breaking away. He was quick and Wonderful shot to finish it off. Chelsea were ahead.

The first goal is the one that really matter, and the Chelsea had grabbed it. After that, they were back in terms with the gunners. If the Arsenal goal wasnt disalllowed. We could have had a much different game. With yellow cards flying, the match became a bit more tense. Essien was lucky to get away from a second Yellow.

Drogba was running every nook and corner asking why he was denied the penalty. He even approached Arsene Wenger for it !

Peter Cech's save from Laurens close range shot at the near post was another turning point of the match. Had this gone it Arsenal still could have won it.But Joe Cole sealed off the victory after a poor defending. This was more than enough for the Arsenal fans. And for teh ManUtd fans this was another bitter truth to deal with.

Should I say it was Arsenals fate? or misery. Anyway, fortune did favour the brave and this must be the end for Arsenals dreams this season. And also for the ManUtd. Chelsea has now gone too far. If anyone else could beat them..... (i got no one in my list !).... lets hope its Fulham next match !

They are Brave and they are lucky. No one can deny it that they really deserve it. For now lets just enjoy the wonderful team and their wonderful performance.
