Arsenal Clinched 4-0 Victory over Blackburn with Emmanuel Adebayor Scoring Hat-trick and Walcott Dazzling

Arsenal appeared with impeccable form against Blackburn Rovers tonight as they thrashed the home side 4-0 thanks to a hat-trick from Arsenal’s Togo international Emmanuel Adebayor. However, Theo Walcott was instrumental in Arsenal’s superb display at Ewood Park tonight. The hero of England’s midweek victory over Croatia in world cup qualifying set up Robin van Persie the opening goal of Arsenal on the 8^th minute of the match. Though he did not score any goal himself, Walcott remained a constant threat to Blackburn defense all through the match.

The Togolese striker was also in his prime to pulled off an excellent hat-trick, helping Arsenal pick up three points from the match with full of confidence. Arsenal lost to Fulham in their first away match of the season. So, ahead of the away match at Blackburn, Arsenal was a bit careful this time. Particularly, Arsenal’s midfield and front men were in superb form, but their defense was not up to the mark. Blackburn’s Roque Santa Cruz created a couple of chances following van Persie’s early strike and Blackburn looked very confident even under a goal down in the match. The home team’s Emerton also created some chances, but Blackburn Rovers failed to capitalize on the chances and thus let Arsenal create pressure on Blackburn Rovers.

Arsenal looked more dangerous in the second half and kept on attacking. With this victory, Arsenal moved up to third place with 9 points from three matches. The most important thing is that clinching a 4-0 away victory is always something special; no matter who the opponents are. Now, let us see if Arsene Wenger boys can continue their excellent form in the coming weeks as well.

Arsenal Winger Theo Walcott might sit out for Blackburn Encounter

Following a heroic performance in England’s emphatic 4-1 victory against Croatia, Theo Walcott might not start against Blackburn Rovers. The 19-year-old scored a superb hat trick at Zagreb against Croatia in their world cup 2010 qualifying campaign. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger might be interested to give the youngster some rest as he traveled a lot this week. Moreover, Wenger will take a last minute decision on the fitness of midfielder Samir Nasri.

I am not sure if it would be a good decision to sit Walcott out for the match because Arsenal lost their only away fixture at Fulham so far this season. So, ahead of the away match at Ewood Park, Arsenal might need to be more careful, though it is true that Arsenal is clearly favorite in the match. However, it is also true that Arsene Wenger knows very well about his squad and he would not take any risk for the match.

Blackburn Rovers will have their new signing Robbie Fowler available for the Arsenal encounter as Blackburn manager Paul Ince has kept him in the squad for Arsenal match.

Blackburn vs Arsenal 08-09: Preview and Live Score

Blackburn is going to play against Arsenal this weekend 13 September, Saturday. The match will take place at the Ewood Park, the stadium of Blackburn Rovers. The kick off time is 15:00 BST and you can find detailed information about the match in this entry.

The two clubs have so far played three matches so far in premier league this season. From the three matches, Arsenal has got six points as Arsenal lost one and won two matches. On the other hand, Blackburn has four matches from three matches. So, both the teams are trying to get something out of this match. Most important thing is that whoever wins tomorrow’s match will go a long way in the premier league table. The maximum that Arsenal can get by winning this match is the first position. On the other hand, Blackburn can move a lot too. In this season, Arsenal won both of the home matches and lost the one away match. In fact, Arsenal could not score any goal in the away match. So, whether Arsenal wins or draws, the first priority would be to score a goal. On the other hand, Blackburn has not won any match at home either. So, for Blackburn, the main focus would be to win the match. Thus, we can think of an entertaining match because both the teams will be on the look out to win.

In the recent years, Arsenal has consistently played very well against Blackburn. On the other hand, Blackburn has played bad not only against Arsenal but against any London club. Thus, it is an interesting matter to see that Blackburn is weak against London clubs like Arsenal. So, you can think that Arsenal is the hot favorite for winning the match.

The main player for Arsenal should be Theo Walcott and Emmanuel Adebayor. If Adebayor can score a hat-trick then it will be his 50 premier league goals for Arsenal. Of course, scoring three goals in one match is not that easy. Well, yesterday Theo Walcott showed for England national team that even at his images, you can score three goals in one match. He scored these three goals against Croatia in Croatia and this has really made all the people of England very happy. So, Arsenal will look forward to these two players for inspiration. However, there can be one problem is that Walcott could have been tired for playing the match and he may not be at his best. However, you have to agree with this me that Walcott at this moment is at the height of his confident and Arsene Wenger was right to get him in the first place.

There is report that Blackburn has got Robbie Fowler on a special deal. Well, Robbie Fowler is 33 years old and he is not the player he once was. Still, he will most probably available for the match and let us see if he plays. Now, another player who is important for Blackburn is David Dunn. He is two goals short of 50 goals for the club. On the other hand, this is the 100^th appearance for Walcott in English premier league.
