Ade Long Legs had peeled off his marker. The Togonator turned provider as he headed the ball back inside to Eduardo, who controlled it on his chest with his back to goal and in the same movement swivelled to acrobatically volley it home from six-yards out.

Matthieu Flamini was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch against Newcastle, he was the holding player, the driving force, the creative influence and a goalscoring threat.

He flicked it onto Eduardo on the penalty spot but just as he was about to pull the trigger

As the commentator said in the first-half, we're the only side around that would get strengthened through injuries. Senderos and Djourou out combined with no Toure or Song meant that Gallas had to lead the side

Like I say, when Ade is focused in staying in the middle and leaving all the creative stuff to the midfielders, he is twice as threatening

Two very bad dropped points. In days gone by a title-chasing team could afford to have the odd surprise draw here or there, but in this day and age home wins against lower-half sides are imperative

Apart from Hoyte, Fabianski and Bendtner everyone else was below par. Gilberto gave the ball away on far too many occasions, Theo Walcott continued to run into defenders instead of finding an Arsenal player with a pass.

The Crozilian controlled on his chest before swivelling to volley across Green and into the bottom corner. 1-0

Eduardo showed what he is all about with a fantastic goal. It was Clichy yet again who played a long pass to Bendtner who flicked the ball into Eduardo

Tomas Rosicky (the brightest of our three creative players) cut in from the left and unleashed a wicked swerving, dipping shot. For the life of me I thought it was in, but David James was at absolute full stretch to save it. Not only did he stop it going on
