Arsenal review: van Persie ices the party cake

Arsenal 1-0 Everton

And so it was (and in hindsight, so it was always going to be) that on Arsenal's 125th birthday party the score was one-nil to the Arsenal. That was a nice touch, eh?

To top it off, it wasn't just any old bog standard, common-or-garden winning goal, it was a veritable van Persie humdinger; a sumptuous volley right up there in execution with the one he scissored in all those years ago at the Valley.
