Arsenal are still winning.
Having won 2-1 at West Brom, they are fifth.
Spurs 2 Everton 2 was a home point for AVB without Bale, Lennon and Defoe.
Adebayor scored in 33 seconds and got an assist on the equaliser.
Chelsea are third after beating Sunderland 2-1 in a game of untidy goals, so the Champions League places are still being closely contested:
3. Chelsea 31-58
4. Spurs 32-58
5. Arsenal 31-56
6. Everton 31-52
On Saturday Gervinho had a curling shot but Rosicky headed the ball in at the near post before we could find out whether the ball was going in at the far post.
Having watched six replays of that goal, I\’m none the wiser about whether Gervinho\’s shot would have gone inside the post or outside the post, or, indeed, hit the post .
Having headed a ball off the line when the score was 0-0, Rosicky then made it 2-0 by firing home after his shot was parried by Ben Foster.
In Rosicky\’s previous 65 league games, he\’d scored one goal. At West Brom he amazed himself by scoring in 20 and 50 minutes.
As everybody knows, football managers work in a results business and West Bromwich Albion 1 Arsenal 2 is a result .
Surprisingly, WBA top scorer Lukaku was on the bench.
When the big striker did come on, he missed a sitter. I figured Steve Clarke would start Lukaku because that game was all about West Brom scoring first. If Arsenal scored first, I thought they’d win.
Steve Clarke knows his players far better than we do, but it looked as if Lukaku should have been brought on sooner .
With Arsenal winning 2-0, Mertesacker, chasing Shane Long, inexplicably looked behind him, away from the little striker, then clattered Long, who had chested the ball into the penalty area.
The German knew that Howard Webb had to send him off, so he didn\’t argue.
James Morrison buried his penalty under Fabianksi\’s body in 71 but the 10 men held on for three points.
Wilshere and Walcott will probably be fit for the Norwich game on Saturday.
Form is very important now and Arsenal have won five of their last six Premier League games.
Carlos Tevez, banned for driving while disqualified, might be the one to watch in tonight\’s derby at Old Trafford.
Roberto Mancini is history, so we won\’t have to listen to his excuses next season.
But we will have to listen Wenger\’s excuses next season and maybe for years after that.
His job is safe because Stan loves him.
