Arsenal 6 v Blackpool 0

Theo Walcott netted his first Arsenal hat-trick, as Arsenal crushed Blackpool 6-0 at the Emirates on Saturday. Andrey Arshavin’s penalty and Abou Diaby were also on the score-sheet, with Maraoune Chamakh heading his first Premiership strike adding deserved gloss to the score-line. Blackpool were reduced to ten men when Ian Evatt was sent off after bringing down Chamakh which led to the penalty that Arshavin was to coolly convert.

Arsenal 4 v Fulham 0

Arsenal rounded off the 2009/10 season in some style with a 4-0 trouncing of Fulham at the Emirates on Sunday. Goals from Andrey Arshavin, Robin Van Persie, a Chris Baird own goal and a delicious chip from substitute Carlos Vela ensured the Gunners ended on a positive note in a season that promised to deliver so much. True injuries can be said to have impeded the progress of other sides, but with a squad that lacked any real depth of cover when injuries to quality players came thick and fast, there was simply not like for like replacements to come in, and that hurt the Gunners.
