Arsenal continued their momentum with a 3-1 Barclays Premier League
win over Birmingham at the Emirates Stadium.
Robin van Persie and Abou Diaby had fired the Gunners into a 2-0
lead inside 18 minutes. However, Lee Bowyer capitalised on a mistake
by young keeper Vito Mannone - preferred to fit-again Manuel Almunia
- to pull a goal back before half-time.
After soaking up plenty of pressure during the second half from
the battling Blues, Andrey Arshavin wrapped up the points late on
as Arsene Wenger's side made it seven successive victories in all
competitions this season.
