Arsenal: It's All Guns Blazing as The Gunners Demolish 'Boro

There has never been any doubting the qualities possessed by Arsenal players and the arsenal of skills the same players have. Playing as a unit, the team showed that the 7-0 demolition of Everton at the end of last season was not a fluke. This time they hosted another upbeat team hoping for a repeat of earlier results. Middlesborough had beaten Arsenal at the beginning of this season at the Riverside and came knocking at Highbury hoping for a positive result. Boro coach Steve McLaren even had a special guest with him; England coach Sven Goran Eriksson was there to watch the match. There was a positive result but this time it was for the hosts. Arsene Wenger's men dominated the match from the word go pumping goals with ease. The result: Arsenal 7-Middlesborough 0.

Thierry Henry had a hat trick and made history by clocking 150 goals for the club. And with the signing of Togo and Monaco striker Emmanuel Adebayor, we are once again in top gear.
