Arsenal ran wild over a relegated Derby who now could become the worse team in premiership football history.It was Derby who started the better & looked like taking the game to Arsenal .They nearly took the lead when Sterjovski had a 20 yard shot which has heading for the goal but was deflected by Alex Song which had the Arsenal keeper who this was his first premiership match going the wrong way but it dropped just wide.Darby then done there usual trick by making a mistake that undone all the good work at the start when Darren Moore gave then ball away to Van Persie who then played in Bendtner who shot under the despairing Carrol.Derby then had a let off when Van Persie fired over from point blank range but Derby then got back level through a free kick.Robbie Savage floated one over & Mceveley got half a head to it but the rebound feel right at his feet & he managed to poke it in from 5 yards.Could there be a surprise in the football result no there wasn’t as Arsenal stepped up a gear & poor old Derby’s lead last all but 10 Min’s when Toure clipped a ball into the penalty box & Moore made another mistake buy stepping out but it left Van Persie on side who controlled the ball onto his chest & smashed it in. Arsene Wenger
Van Persie was subbed at half time with Adebayor it must have bin a injury as it didn’t look tactical.Adebayor then started to run the game as it looked like Derby didn’t come out for the second half.Toure had 2 great chances to get on the score sheet when he ran into the box & sent his shot over then a back heel from Faregas put him through but he missed again Bendtner then had a half volley go over & Adebayor was denied by a fantastic save from Carroll.It didn’t take him much longer though as Walcott raced past the ageing Stubbs put in a cross which was deflected by Eboue & all Adebayor had to do was tap it in.Arsenal then started to stroke the ball around & Walcott went close with a curling shot but then Derby got back into the game when Earnshaw got a pass from Todd & cooly slotted the ball home with Fabianski was advancing.Walcott then scored the goal of the night when he ran & cut in from the left & curled the ball into the far corner then Adebayor got his second when he tapped in a Clichy cross.Adebayor then got his hat trick & Arsenals 6th when he collected the ball ran round Caroll & rolled it into the empty net.
