Match Review: Burnley 0 Arsenal 1 - Premier League 11.04.15

Arsenal’s stunning form has stretched to eight wins, but Saturday’s victory over Burnley was far from spectacular. After the destruction of Liverpool last weekend, a very different performance was needed to edge past a Burnley side looking to beat the drop and who made things physical to say the least. We can’t rip teams to shreds every week though and a gritty away win like this is as important as any other.

Match Review: Arsenal 4 Liverpool 1 - Premier League 04.04.15

The demons of last years mauling at Anfield have been banished in spectacular fashion. Liverpool found themselves on the wrong end of a Gunners blitz that saw three goals in eight minutes and killed the game before half time. It was a truly excellent performance from an Arsenal team that has found top form over the last month or two and could now be looking at securing a top two finish, never mind top four.

Match Review: Newcastle United 1 Arsenal 2 - Premier League 21.03.15

Supporting Arsenal provides a stern test of the heart. Having seemingly eased into a comfortable lead, we let Newcastle back in and at times it looked like we weren’t going to be able to preserve the win. After a testing week though, the players were likely running on empty and at this time of the season, all that matters is picking up points.
