Mannone the hero as the famous ugly win is finally attained

Fulham 0 Arsenal 1 (Van Persie 52)
(Premiership)

Strange how a scrappy undeserved win always brings about more plaudits than a delightful thumping, isn't it?

For as long as we've had the reputation for destroying opposition only to fall meekly to physical sides (an opinion that is so outdated it is ridiculous), we've heard the line that we can't win ugly.
