For 83 minutes, the most interesting thing about Arsenal was Captain Bill's new Travis Bickle 'do. Then, it was the way the ball squirts off the do into the back of the net off a a brilliant Bacary Sagna cross. Shortly thereafter, the Gunners countered in rampant fashion to find Tomas Rosicky open on the flank for a nicely placed doinker off the inside of the post for the 2-0 victory. With Manchester United's inexplicable loss to Bolton, the Boys for Arsenal FC go 3 points clear at the top.
Not bad for a game that was frustrating, indeed, maddening to watch for long stretch. With Wigan packing midfielders like little fish in a can, Arsenal's madly revised lineup (sans Cesc, Alex & Flamini) had trouble finding purpose.
All it took, however, was 3 minutes of Gunner Glory to erase the frustration and leave the Arsenal faithful delirious, yet again. What is that now, 28 games without defeat?
