A good win over Hull. Robin Van Persie is looking like the player we’d always hoped he would be – dangerous around the penalty area, lethal on free kicks, using his skills to create chances for teammates, and staying away from the injury list. RvP assisted on all 3 Arsenal goals on Saturday:
- A terrific corner headed in by Emmanuel Adebayor
- A nifty little pass to a streaking Samir Nasri who buried the match-winner with his left foot
- A good cross to sub Nick Bendtner who scored off the bench for the second straight match. Bendtner seems much more effective in this role
Van Persie has now had a hand in 16 of the 37 Arsenal league goals this season. With Cesc and Theo Walcott still sidelined Robin needs to keep up his torrid pace if the Gunners are going to be playing Champions League football next season. Next up for the Red and White: a visit to Cardiff for an FA Cup tie. I’m sure Welshman Aaron Ramsey’s looking forward to it.
