English Soccer Live Scores - Arsenal Draws With Tottenham
Posted by admin
Peri Witny asked:
Another possible scenario is Aston Villa’s resurgence. The team has now occupied the third spot after they dislodged Arsenal in fourth place and Chelsea’s slip from third. Surprisingly, the team is doing it quietly, minus the pomp and buzz. If they continue to hold on to third place, then it means that Arsenal and Chelsea now have to fight for fourth place for a chance to play in the Champions League. Such is the importance of the Gunners’ match against Tottenham Hotspur.
In the first football result of Sunday, Tottenham missed the opportunity to pick up three precious points when it failed to win its match against Arsenal despite the Gunners being reduced to 10 men and had to settle to a 0-0 draw. Emmanuel Eboue was given the red card after he picked up two unnecessary yellow cards all in the first half. Arsenal fans then watched their senior striker Emmanuel Adebayor be taken out in what the Gunners suspect as a serious hamstring injury.
New Arsenal recruit Andrey Arshavin was not used in the match even if he was present at the substitutes’ bench as Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger still has doubts on Arshavin’s match fitness. The Russian playmaker has not played competitive football since the close of the Russian League for its winter break.
Robbie Keane made his first appearance for the club after a forgettable transfer move to Liverpool which saw him struggle for a place in the first team squad. He partnered Roman Pavlyuchenko in attack and seemed to be working quite well. They were unfortunate though to find the net for the impotant goals that could have placed the team further away from the relegation zone.
For Arsenal though, the draw has pleased the side no end as they know that with what happened on the pitch, things could have been worse and they might have suffered a loss. But the draw didn’t help their cause of entering the top four slots either.
Adebayor’s hamstring injury means that the striker shall be out for three weeks. In that span, he shall means the Gunners’ league games against Sunderland and Fulham, the FA Cup replay against Cardiff and the Champions League game against Roma. He joins the team’s long list of injured players among them Cesc Fabregas (knee), Thomas Rosicky (hamstring tendon), Mikael Silvestre (thigh), Abou Diaby (thigh) and Theo Walcott (shoulder).
Croatian striker Eduardo, who broke his leg almost a year ago, returned to the side and sat at the substitutes’ bench. He along with young Mexican striker Carlos Vela can cover for Adebayor’s absence at the forward position. Robin Van Persie and Nicklas Bendtner appear to be Wenger’s preferred attacking duo at the moment.
With Tottenham, manager Harry Redknapp is hoping that the cash splurge that he shelled out to buy players Keane and Jermaine Defoe shall jumpstart his team’s bid to escape relegation.
