The Gunners kept pace with the two Manchester teams today with a heartening performance in Birmingham after their disappointing draw at Wigan last Wednesday. After a rough-and-tumble first half in which Arsenal took a 1-0 lead on a deflected Van Persie free kick, the Gunners took complete control in the second half, with some stunning close passing, particularly between Nasri, who scored Arsenal's second goal, and Fabregas whose shot was ultimately played into the net for Arsenal's third goal by Birmingham defender Roger Johnson. The Gunners wasted nary a pass during the second half in a truly dominant display of football. The defense was also much better today, with goalie Lukas Fabianski, who made one great save on a Birmingham fee kick, earning the Gunner's first clean sheet in seven games.
Next up, a tough home match against Man City on Wednesday.
