Arsenal finished the game tonight away at Aston Villa in a goalless draw.
The match was an open encounter with plenty of chances for both sides, Fabregas hitting the post in the first half and Rosicky the bar in the second.
With the pressure somewhat off, Arsenal gave Manchester Utd the competitive challenge they had previously failed to muster in the Champions League semi-final but were unable to find the winning goal that would have prolonged the title race.
Van Persie battles in the air
Trailing league leaders Liverpool by 8 points before the match, Arsenal were in dire need of 3 points against such Premiership minnows. However, Saturdays game at Middlesbrough was another somewhat disappointing one for Arsenal fans, as Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw by a poor Boro side.
24 hours on and I’m reflecting happily on a great performance from Arsenal away at Bolton yesterday. Arsenal showed resolve as a team to come from behind and played some great football.
