Goals at the start and the finish of the match earned Arsenal FC a 2-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers FC which extended their lead in the Premier League to five points.
Making sure
Arsène Wenger's men enjoyed the perfect opening at the Arsenal Stadium when Philippe Senderos rose unattended to head in a fourth-minute corner. The north London club were in a position to enhance a two-point advantage over second-placed Manchester United FC, and they made sure of the win as the game entered stoppage time. Aleksandr Hleb played the ball into the feet of Emmanuel Adebayor who finished adroitly past Blackburn goalkeeper Brad Friedel. It was Adebayor's 19th league goal of the season. Hleb had hit the post earlier in the second half, while half-chances for Roque Santa Cruz and Benni McCarthy could not prevent a first top-flight defeat of 2008 for ninth-placed Blackburn.
