When football is played honestly, teams can get rewarded if they stick by their guns until the end. But you never know if they will indeed be rewarded or not.
And this is what makes honest football great.
Today, Arsenal added two more points to their potential one by continuing to push forward, even in the 95th minute (the last of official added time).
Vermaelen scored, after a nice ricochet at the end of an extended Arsenal attack put the ball right at his feet.
Newcastle had held off Arsenal quite successfully up until that point.
After Newcastle's random goal - I say "random" because the Gunners goalkeeper should have been able to at least parry Ben Arfa's shot (in minute 14) - Arsenal almost instantly replied (15), through, who else but, van Persie.
The Dutchman continues to lead, in the Premier League topscorer race, with 26 goals.
Getting back, though, Arsenal is only one point behind Tottenham, now. Nice!
I bet those guys wish they had taken some points from Manchester United now...
