Arsenal vs Stoke City Highlights: EPL Highlights

Arsenal swept aside Stoke with three quick first-half goals to sign off in style after a difficult Premier League campaign with a 4-1 win.

An own goal from James Beattie, making his 300th league appearance, was swiftly followed up by a penalty from Robin van Persie and Abou Diaby’s powerful header.

Stoke, safe from any last-day relegation saga, pulled a goal back from the spot through Ricardo Fuller, only for Rory Delap to then gift Van Persie his second four minutes before half-time.

Arsenal, already secure in fourth place following a 21-match unbeaten run, had little other than wounded pride left to play for after going out of both the FA Cup and Champions League at the semi-final stage.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is now certain to strengthen his squad over the summer as he looks to reduce the 18-point gap on champions Manchester United.

Chants of “there is only one Arsene Wenger” rang out around Emirates Stadium before kick off, as the home fans showed their combined appreciation for the French coach who has endured one of the most testing of his 12 campaigns at the helm, but allayed fears he was set to quit for Real Madrid.

Arsenal vs Chelsea Highlights : EPL Highlights

Chelsea did their talking on the pitch on Sunday with a omprehensive 4-1 win at Emirates Stadium securing at least third place in the table and ending Arsenal’s 21-match Premier League unbeaten run.

UEFA have yet to rule on the unacceptable over-reaction from several of the Chelsea players - most notably a foul-mouthed barrage by striker Didier Drogba - following their controversial midweek exit in the Champions League to a late Barcelona away goal.

However, there were no such flash points in this game as all of Guus Hiddink’s men kept their composure to mount early pressure on the home side before killing the game off with two clinical strikes.

Arsenal vs Manchester United Highlights: Champions League Semi-Finals

Like the great Emperors of the past, Sir Alex Ferguson will attempt to rule Rome in three weeks’ time after Manchester United produced an unbelievable offensive display to destroy Arsenal.

Park Ji-sung scoring the first goal from a defensive blunder from young Arsenal defender Gibbs, it was followed by a thunderous 40-yard free-kick from Cristiano Ronaldo to effectively book a Champions League final date with Chelsea or Barcelona on May 27 after only 11 minutes.

Ronaldo capped a fine display and drew howls of glee from David Beckham, who had made the trip from Milan to witness a victory that will go alongside that staggering win over Juventus in 1999 that the former England skipper was a part of, by sliding home a third goal, taking his goal tally to 25 this season.

It was not quite a perfect night for United. How could it be when Darren Fletcher ended it in disbelief as he earned a red card for a tackle on Cesc Fabregas which will rule him out of the Italian job.

However, it was not far off, leaving United to await the events at Stamford Bridge tomorrow with so many neutrals, if not a Chelsea side hell-bent on revenge, hoping Barcelona will set up what would be a dream decider.
