Arsenal’s patient passing game was highlighted in their final goal against Bolton on Saturday. A 24-pass move involving eight players – Tomas Rosicky, Cesc Fábregas, Denilson, Alex Song, Emmanuel Eboué, Kieran Gibbs, Sebastien Squillaci and Carlos Vela – was eventually finished with Fábregas’ lofted through ball and Vela’s confident finish. That final pass was the first time in the move Arsenal had attempted to play the ball into the final third. [Guardian chalkboard]
it looks like a (beautiful) constellation… also : talk about short passing and teamwork! Good job, Gunners!
