Arsenal’s push for a place in next season’s Champions League received a welcome boost on Saturday as a Tomas Rosicky double inspired them to their third Premier League win a row against West Brom. Clinical strikes either side of the break
from the Czech midfielder had given the Gunners a comfortable lead but
Per Mertesacker’s 70th-minute sending off and James Morrison’s
subsequent penalty made for a frantic finish.
Arsenal managed to hold on, though, and their fifth successive victory at the Hawthorns sees Arsene Wenger’s side move into fourth, with Chelsea and Tottenham not due to play until tomorrow.
Steve Clarke made just two changes from his side’s 3-1 defeat at West Ham last week as Morrison came in for the suspended Youssouf Mulumbu and Jerome Thomas replaced Romelu Lukaku.
The visitors, meanwhile, named an unchanged side from their 4-1 win against Reading as Gervinho and Olivier Giroud retained their places up front in the absence of the injured Theo Walcott.
