Arsenal crush Cardiff


Arsenal bounced back from a draw in the FA Cup to thrash Cardiff City 4-0 to proceed to the next round where they face Burnley. Arsenal received a boost in the form of Eduardo, who representd the club after a year of inactivity. He led the strike along with error prone Bendtner. The Danish striker has never done well in front of goal and has squandered many chances that have cost arsenal dear.


The game started in Arsenal's favor, with the london club coming close to scorin atleast 3 times. Just when it was getting frustrating, Eduardo headed a Nasri cross home to give Arsenal the lead. Eduardo continued to trouble the defence, showing what Arsneal had missed in the past year. Bendnter too got his goal after doing an Adebayor style header off a corner as Arsenal led 2-0 at the interval.


After half time, Bendtner missed a sitter, but Eduardo made up for it by falling down in the penalty box and converting the spot kick into another goal. He then missed his hattrick before being substituted by Persie. Arsenal continued to squander chances courtesy bendtner, but Van Persie gave the finishing touch with a clinical finish past the goal keeper Thomas Heaton, who did well for Cardiff.


Cardiff did not have a proper shot on goal, and this shows EDUARDO POWER!!! But he soon was reduced to the bench as he strained his hamstring after the match.
