Taken from BBC.
“Andrey Arshavin scored a superb solo goal to open his Arsenal account as Blackburn were completely outclassed. The Russian was involved in the opening goal when he pressured Andre Ooijer into putting through his own net. Samir Nasri’s free-kick hit the bar and Arsenal missed a host of chances before Arshavin made it 2-0 when he dummied Danny Simpson and smashed the ball in. Substitute Emmanuel Eboue then scored two late goals, first tapping in a rebound and then converting a penalty.
Arsenal had failed to score in their last three Premier League games at The Emirates, but it took them only 75 seconds against Rovers to end that barren run. ”

Eboue says:
Emmanuel Eboue has proven himself worthy of the Arsenal shirt now – we’d really miss him if he went in the summer. Good luck in the World Cup (Ivory Coast) Emmanuel!
