Arsenal-v-Bolton 20/10/2007 (KO: 3pm)
Managerless Bolton came to the Emirates and looked every bit like a class whose teacher had stepped out of the room. Unruly and rowdy, they sought to thwart Arsenal’s usual flowing play with bruising tackles. They succeeded to a certain extent, and it wasn’t until Toure shot home a free kick in the 67th minute that the fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the visitor’s tactics were semi-successful, the home team still managed to put in some superb moves, and young Walcott went on a marvellous mazy run at one point, neatly bypassing two defenders but sadly there was no one in the box to take advantage of his well aimed cross. This ceased to matter nine minutes from time when Walcott placed another low cross into the path of Rosicky, who clipped it in to bring the final score to 2-0.
Final score: Arsenal 2-0 Bolton
