Arsenal vs Everton - Highbury, London - Monday 19th September 2005

After the last home league game against Fulham, where Pascal Cygan scored a very unexpected 2 goals (even one would have been amazing), tonight it was Sol Campbell's turn.

Big Sol scored both our goals, both with headers from set pieces, and both made you wonder "why can't we do this more often?" (or at all).

Everton looked as they always look against Arsenal, not very good. After sticking 11 goals past them in the League last season (and another 3 in the Carling Cup), they seem to be good opponents for us. Tonight was more like the Everton that crashed out of the Champions League qualifiers, than the team that came 4th last season.

3 more points at home, the contrast between home and away form could not be greater at the moment.
