Hi All,
Arsenal produced stunning fightback to come from a goal down to beat Everton and keep up with leaders Manchester United.
Louis Saha scored a goal from an offside position and despite the protests of Arsenal players, the goal was allowed to stand. But that further motivated the Gunners and they never looked back after that.
Arshavin finally managed to score and Koscielny scored the winning goal. Arsenal once again showed the composure and determination that of champions and are looking the front runners to challenge for title this season.

The louis saha goal was offside. After what Andy Gray and Richard Key comment about female linesman, stating that woman don't understand offside rules, this male lines man really didn't justify that man are better. It only shows woman can do better job. And what sad is, they already saw the replay from the big screen and they still allowed the goal.
The ref should admit their mistakes and give it offside. I cannot believe this type of reffereing quality exist in the one of the best league in the world.
But as long as Arsenal win, I keep on being happy. Go on Gunners. Arsenal will push ManUtd until the finishing end.

If this goal allow to stand even after seing the replay, I don't think introduction of media technologies, which was been demanded by many football managers, will be successful. And the match is the living prove.
The ref are too arrogance to admit their mistakes.

It was really a good win for Arsenal. It was good to see them fighting back after being a goal down. They need to keep winning though if they have to keep Man United honest in the title run-in.
Cheers!

Good show from the Gunners..
Its good to see them come from behind and win the game which they dont normally do..
At time i was hoping that they at least get a draw and get 1 point..
Its also good to see a goal from a set piece which is rare for Arsenal..
Overall a good game with Arsenal having 55% of possession and having 10 shots on target and 9 shots off target..
7 cards shown during the game also shows how tough it would have been (3 yellows for Arsenal and 4 yellows for Everton)

Great win by Arsenal, yeah that Saha goal was unfair but good win for them. I think that they will end the season behind Chelsea but they are playing well at the moment.
