Matchday 16 ~ Middlesbrough vs Arsenal - Page 4

Freddy Adu · 12-09-2007, 07:28 PM

Downing's free-kick effort posed no threat to Almunia, who had to be more alert to clutch a fizzing cross from Tuncay.

Freddy Adu · 12-09-2007, 07:28 PM

Boro, whose intensity had dipped a little, found a second wind to finish the half ahead.

Freddy Adu · 12-09-2007, 07:28 PM

Wenger wasted no time shaking up the Gunners, bringing on Nicklas Bendtner for Eduardo da Silva.

Freddy Adu · 12-09-2007, 07:28 PM

Five minutes after the restart Rochemback capped a thrilling run with the perfect through ball to Tuncay.
With only Almunia to beat, the Turk's cross-shot screwed agonisingly wide of the far post.

Freddy Adu · 12-09-2007, 07:28 PM

Gael Clichy was booked for a late tackle on O'Neil before David Wheater saw a vicious goal-bound volley blocked.

Freddy Adu · 12-09-2007, 07:28 PM

Boro were beginning to out-pass Arsenal, the move of the match seeing Tuncay release Downing. His cross was met first time by George Boateng 20 yards out but the captain's well-struck finish was just wide.

Freddy Adu · 12-09-2007, 07:28 PM

Wenger had seen enough, throwing on Denilson for Lassana Diarra and Theo Walcott for Eboue.

Freddy Adu · 12-09-2007, 07:28 PM

With the visitors committing more men forward, Bendtner mishit one over the bar and Adebayor got in behind only to see his cutback intercepted.

Freddy Adu · 12-09-2007, 07:28 PM

The danger for Arsenal was leaving themselves exposed at the back and almost as soon as Robert Huth was brought on for Jonathan Woodgate 17 minutes from time, Boro scored again.

Freddy Adu · 12-09-2007, 07:28 PM

A corner was not cleared properly and O'Neil's first-time shot was too hot for Almunia, whose parry was powered into the roof of the net by Tuncay, via a slight nick off Gallas.

Freddy Adu · 12-09-2007, 07:28 PM

Boro had the points in the bag long before Rosicky turned in Clichy's cross deep into stoppage-time.

Freddy Adu · 12-09-2007, 07:28 PM

"Our approach was fantastic. I felt Arsenal having three games in a week was a tall order for them and thought it might be a good day to get them. We worked and scrapped and gave a really good account of ourselves."
- Gareth Southgate

Freddy Adu · 12-09-2007, 07:29 PM

"We lost the game because we deserved to lose it. Middlesbrough were sharper in the fight and overall we lost because we missed the start by giving them too much room and then a penalty."
- Arsene Wenger

Freddy Adu · 12-09-2007, 07:29 PM

Stewart Downing
An early penalty put Middlesbrough on their way to a priceless win.
