Gunners get back to winning ways.

Arsenal got back to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Stoke City at the Emirates Stadium. In an attempt to solve the sudden dearth of goals that had coincided with Van Persie’s injury, Wenger gave Andrei Arshavin his chance to prove that he can be the answer in the problem “Striker” role. The Growing Arsenal injury list just got bigger; both Eduardo & Walcott rejoined the injured squad again & did not play against Stoke. The Gunners started brightly, Fabregas put Arshavin through one on one with Sorensen but he came out to block the Russian's shot. Arsenal were then given a golden chance to take the lead in the 20th minute when Arshavin was tripped by Delap in the box and referee pointed to the spot. Fabregas stepped up to take the penalty but Sorensen stretched to his left to palm the ball around the post. Arshavin, though, finally did make Arsenal’s dominance count on 26 minutes when he exchanged passes with Fabregas and then adjusted his feet brilliantly to shoot into the bottom corner. Wenger had chosen Arshavin ahead of striker Carlos Vela at the start but the Mexican was given a chance to impress in the second half when he replaced Rosicky. Wenger had accused Stoke of deliberately attempting to injure Arsenal players during the fixture between the two at the Britannia Stadium last year and Stoke maintained their physical approach in the second half. The second goal came with 11 minutes remaining when Ramsey picked up the ball on the edge of the box and produced a crafted finish which moved away from Sorensen's dive. Crisis averted & Gunners coast to comfortable win. Not to forget, Arsenal scored for the first time in Premier League since the absence of Van Persie & Its time to celebrate & enjoy the weekend as Gunners get back to winning ways.
