Now, lets work through this one sentence at a time.
Arsenal did not dominate the majority of the match. They dominated possession, but didn't do enough with it, and although they deserved to get level, once they equalised they never looked like winning the game.
Secondly, Arsenal's equaliser had nothing to do with lovely build-up play - it was Song charging unchallenged down the left after we failed to clear our lines.
Hand?? Really???
Is this Jack Wilshere writing this shit? Sour grapes doesn't even begin to describe it.
He hardly needed to say he was a gooner did he?! We weren't great but we created more chances than they did and our chances were better.
Seriously some people shouldn't be allowed near a keypad. Doesn't change the fact we won though :wink:
With another derby winner, comes another controversial win.
Arsenal dominated the majority of the match, but their inability to defend Tottenham's counterattacks meant Spurs went up 1-0 before halftime. Arsenal equalized early in the second half after a lovely build-up play, but Tottenham scored the winner after a rare Wojciech Szczesny howler.
The controversy came mostly from Tottenham's first goal, after Rafael used his hand to control Adebayor's pass before volleying the ball into the far corner. The Dutchman then celebrated with the crowd, an offense that is usually bookable. And had he been booked, the midfielder would have been sent off.
It's hard to write about Spurs as an Arsenal fan, but I'll hand it to them for scraping out a win after being outplayed by their rivals.
