Arsenal Denied 3 Points


Today Arsenal was unable to gain a three point addition due to the most unexpected West Bromwich 2 - 2 tie.

West Brom had the advantage as they were able to produce their second goal minutes after half time. However Arsenal were able to pick it up after the 70th minute, making their first goal courtesy of midfielder Andrei Arshaven. Eight minutes later Van Persie was able to give Arsenal the one point.

Three minutes into the game, Steven Reid was able to get West Brom their first goal, followed by Odemwingie's goal in 58th minute after half time. One would have though that West Brom would be able to keep up with a victory, but Arsene Wenger seemed to had changed the strategy in order to give him a tie for today's exciting game. However, if Arsenal plans for Premiere League victory, ties are not what he needs. With United five points ahead, Arsenal has a lot of work to do if they plan on achieving victory of any sort this year.

Arsenal played very ferociously today, gaining three yellow cards versus the one card West Brom got. However according to stats, Arsenal played a much better game and had five more accurate shots on target then Bromwich, who only had three.
