Gunners maintain the tension with 2-0 win against Bolton.

Free-kick score by Toure and easy goal by Rosicky gave Gunners another important win before going through Reds and Devils journey.

However,the game wasn't as easy as expected in first-half as Gunners missed a lot of chances,and Trotters defended well and they played very physically but I would not say they played well.I think they play like a wall.Why?I will explain it later on in this article.

But after Walcott and Rosicky came into the game,Gunners momentum began to increase.Attacks going for every second into Trotters defense.But the breakthrough only came at 67th minute when Toure surprisingly scored from a free-kick to make Gunners lead with 1-0.It's surprise isn't it?A defender can score a free-kick.But anyway Toure came to Arsenal as a striker,but Wenger trained him as defender eventually.

Bolton didn't do much either,so Almunia was very free in this match.

Then,at 81st minute Walcott crossed the ball and Rosicky just easily back-kicked the ball and make Bolton 2-0 behind Gunners.

Walcott could score actually after this but his shot was blocked by Bolton's defender.Talking about Walcott,I think he bring a lot of chances to Gunners to score with his fast pace towards the goal but somehow he's taking the midfielder job.Yes,I think he's a midfielder at that time but Wenger wants to train him as striker eventually.Let's see how he will progress.

About my last comment about Bolton was a wall because they play just like Manchester City last time;they did not have counter-attack or it's very less.It's not nice to see as a football match when the attack or the game just going in one-way.So I can say they played like a"wall",very strong but gives no harm.

There are no upsets in this weekend at least for Saturday's match,with all the top teams winning and there are very little change in the Top 10 standings in EPL.Liverpool,just same as last week scored at last minute of the game but they scored a winning goal yesterday.

Aston Villa began well with their 1-0 lead but ended worst with 4-1 lost against Man.United.The tension in the league will be even higher for us with our next match against Liverpool at Anfield,and Man.City's match against Chelsea.
