It would be easy, almost too easy in fact,to focus on the abysmal finishing of Nicklas Bendtner. The Danish striker has been in a decent run of form lately, finding the net in all three of his Francisco Lindor Jersey previous games for club and country. However, during Saturday afternoons contest against the Premier Leagues perennialy poor travellers Burnley, Bendtner had appeared to haveleft his shooting boots at home, spurning chance after chance in a performance that was otherwise further evidence of thetargetman finally beginning to back up the good game he has always spoken.But it was the performance of one Theo Walcott, savaged by the pre s following his lacklustre audition for Fabio Capellos World Cup squad against Egypt, that stood out as the Gunners eventually laid the Clarets to rest in a 3-1 victory which saw them tie Chelsea for second place on sixty points.Chris Waddle was perhaps the most scathing of allthe twenty year olds critics in Thursday mornings papers, as he accused the former Southampton starlet of having no footballing brain.Arsene Wengers defence was as staunch as Walcotts latest performance was electrifying, simplystating: I believe Theo will be a great football player, he is very young, he will be 21 this year, he will have a great future.And in the absence ofclub captainCesc Fabregas, who limped off after scoring his sides first goal, Walcott duly obliged to step up to the plate and deliver the promises of Hanley Ramirez Jersey his manager, terrorising Daniel Fox, the Burnley left back, all afternoon and finding the net with a sublimely taken finish to put his team 2-1 up after David Nugent had equalised with a well executed lob that again raised questions over goalkeeper Manuel Almunia.The performance of Englands young Lion was closely followed by Frenchman Samir Nasri, whose invention was responsible for Fabregas well crafted opener. Following numerous gilt-edged mi ses by Bendtner, Nasri collected the balland clippeda beautifully weightedpa s over the defence and into the path of the Spaniard to put the home side ahead and spare his Danish team mates blushes. In e sence though, the half time score line was Mike Clevinger Jersey an unfair reflection on the dominance of Arsenal who should have been well out of sight within the first half an hour.It would be justifiable to suggest that the horrendous injury to Aaron Ramsey still lingered in the thoughts of the players as they contended the first half, when Burnley goalkeeper Brian Jensens fifty-fifty challenge on Nasri provoked fury from the Arsenal supporters, just as Daniel Foxs challenge on Walcott drew the wrath of the opposing players who rushed to the side of their team mate as the contest momentarily looked like it could boil over.David Nugents equaliser after the breakwas somewhat of a shock, but that man Walcott cancelled it out on the hour as he cut in from the right hand side and curled in a shot that could prove to be the pivotal moment of a season thwarted by injuries Jose Ramirez Jersey and poor form.Andrey Arshavin, the Ru sian playmaker, then arrived from the bench to lash home a third in injury time after Eduardo had replaced Bendtner,whom the Emirates faithful appeared to warm to following his endeavours, honouring him with a standing ovation.Although the Gunners finishing did not cost them on the day, their goalmouth profligacy could yet affect them in the title race as their goal difference is inferior to that of both Chelsea and current leaders Manchester United.ARSENAL 3 (Fabregas 34, Walcott 59, Arshavin 90+4)Team: Almunia, Eboue, Vermaelen, Silvestre, Clichy, Fabregas (Diaby 39), Denilson, Rosicky (Arshavin 61), Walcott, Nasri, Bendtner (Eduardo 73)Unused Subs: Fabianski, Sagna, Eastmond, TraoreBURNLEY 1 (Nugent 50)Team: Jensen, Alexander (Bikey 65), Carlisle, Mears, Cort, Manny Ramirez Jersey Fox, Cork, McDonald (Elliott 53), Eagles, Paterson (Thompson 73), NugentUnused Subs: Weaver, Duff, Blake, JordanBooked: Carlisle, McDonald, Elliott, Paterson
