Fabregas strikes to sink Hannover

admin

Cesc Fabregas got the only goal for the Gunners in the ninth minute after an exquisite pass from Robin van Persie in their first match since central defender Toure completed a £16million move to Manchester City.

The Gunners lined up with William Gallas and Thomas Vermaelen in the centre of their defence, and unless Arsene Wenger bolsters his defensive options, that looks like Arsenal’s first-choice pairing at centre-half.

Croatia striker Eduardo made a surprise second-half appearance in place of Van Persie, having not been on the pre-match teamsheet.
