Another easy victory for us as we cruised along the match and won 3 – 0. With another three points in the bag our hopes are dim but yet alive to beat Spurs in the race to the fourth & final spot for next seasons Champions League qualification.
The match was a stroll for us as a goal from Henry, Cesc each and an own goal all arriving in the first 45 minutes wrapped the match for us in the first half itself.
Adebayor, Song, Pires, Diaby & Clichy started the match for us while Ashley started the match from the bench and come on midway in the second half. Everything went smooth for us except that in the dying minutes of the match Sunderland substitute Dan Smith made an awful two-footed lunge at Diaby which saw him to be stretchered out of the pitch. Later he was diagnosed to have a dislocated fractured ankle and can cause him to miss the remainder of the season. The tackle was bad and Wenger is furious about it insists that the defender should have been sent-off. Though further news on the extent of the injury should arrive later in the week the injury is cruel and has come at a crucial time.
So, with this victory, the club is still the race for the fourth spot and apart from winning against Man City & Wigan we hope that West Ham steal something from Spurs.
