This was one of those games that Arsenal have at least once a season - a home game which Dennis Bergkamp just takes care of on his own. Last season, for the record, the game was against Blackburn, and it was almost a carbon copy of this. Bergkamp scored within the first 20 minutes, with the winning and only goal in the game. For the remaining 70 minutes, Arsenal occasionally looked like scoring a second, and occasionally also looked like conceding - especially towards the end, which was eventually a nailbiting finish.
It is strange that, when you watch as many football matches as I seem to, there are definitely games that can be grouped into the same category - they could almost be the same game. Tough 1-0 away wins up north; away defeats up north where we get fully outfought; home games where we are 2-0 up and have won the game inside 15 minutes - examples of all of these happen at least once a season (apart obviously from the defeats last season!!).
So, a 1-0 home victory, with Bergkamp the scorer of the only goal, early on. It isn't as pretty as Arsenal can be, but you need games and results like this every season, because the 3 points all count.
