Arsenal look like a pride of lions stalking wounded gazelles at the moment. Sniffing blood and wanting more!

Van Persie takes a short corner to Ramsey who crosses from the right and picks out Song but his header is well saved.

Blackburn Rovers are just trying to limit the damage done to their goal difference in this encounter. Arsenal seem content to play out the remaining moments.

Again Paul Robinson is forced into action as he races off his line to clear the danger ahead of Theo Walcott who has looked dangerous since coming on.

Arshavin clips the ball into the path of Walcott who has made an excellent run in behind but Robinson gets something on the shot and Givet gets back to clear the ball off the line.

Arsenal should have made it six through Bendtner as he broke through to be put one-on-one with Robinson but the England hopeful makes an excellent save.

Abou Diaby is allowed lots of room as Arshavin moves the defenders around to allow Diaby the room to shoot, left-footed, but strikes it just wide of the post. That was a chance for the midfielder.

Hoilett pulls the trigger after linking up with Di Santo but his shot from the edge of the box canons back off the post and falls for a defender who is able to clear.

Robin Van Persie brings the ball down the left and lifts it into the box but Gael Givet is there to head the ball away from danger.

Benni McCarthy wins a free-kick within shooting range. McCarthy will take and he finds the target but Mannone is able to make a comfortable save.

Arsenal have a corner, conceded by Nzonzi. Van Persie delivers, in-swinging towards the head of Gallas but Rovers manage to deal with the danger.

Thomas Rosicky again looks to shoot from distance but this time the ball whistles just wide of the post with Robinson well beaten.

David Dunn picks the ball up in the final third and again looks to get his head up and drive at the Gunners back-line. Dunn cuts onto his right foot and once again forces a save from Mannone but the keeper beats the ball away.

Cesc Fabregas embarasses David Dunn with a nutmeg that is met by a rapture of cheers and applause. Dunn can't help but smile.

The tempo of the game has just dropped a little now as Arsenal keep the ball and move it around the back. Rosicky steps forward and tries his luck from range but he strikes it poorly and the tame effort is gathered by Robinson.

Arsenal almost respond with a goal as a lofted ball is brought down by the chest of van Persie and shoots but Robinson is out quickly to make the block.

Martin Olsson comes forward from left-back and lets fly from long range. The ball dips and swerves through the air and Mannone is forced to make a fantastic save to deny the full-back.

David Dunn picks the ball up in the Arsenal half and drives towards the penalty area and goes down under the challenge of Fabregas but the referee waves away the protests. He was screaming for a penalty.

Both sides unchanged from the first half but Rovers now have to chase the game against the electric looking Gunners.

Arsenal have a corner, won by Sagna. Its taken short and worked in-field but Fabregas' attempt to find Song in the box is off target and goes behind for a goal-kick.

Fabregas gets to a flicked cross and tests Robinson with a header but the keeper makes the save. The re-bound falls back towards Fabregas but Chimbonda comes across to make a vital tackle.

Blackburn Rovers will be bitterly disappointed to be behind having led twice but Arsenal have been irresistible going forward. Fabregas makes a break into the box but is crowded out by three defenders.

Fabregas has been sensational today, pulling the strings in midfield and the dynamic attack of Arsenal are carving Blackburn apart.

What a game! Blackburn went to sleep from the free-kick and they were made to pay by Van Persie. That's exactly how Wenger would have wanted his side to respond.

Andrews concedes possession cheaply in the Rovers half but fortunately for him Diaby cannot retain the ball and Rovers come away unscathed.

Olsson comes forward from left back and gets towards the byline and whips the ball in for Di Santo but it's too high and Clichy clears.

Sagna finds Fabregas in space a long way from goal but the midfielder strikes it towards the bottom corner and forces an excellent diving save from Robinson as he turns the ball round the post with his fingertips.

That strike from Vermaelen is certainly worthy of levelling the scores. Ever since Rovers took the lead Arsenal have dominated and are back on terms quickly.

Arshavin finds some space and plays in Diaby who forces a corner. Fabregas delivers with his right-foot and it forces Dunn to head behind for another corner. Van Persie delivers this time but its too deep and goes behind for a goal-kick off Fabregas.

Arshavin picks the ball up on the right hand side and cuts inside before clipping the ball into the box. Cesc Fabregas has made a good run to meet the cross and heads towards goal but is denied by the crossbar and Blackburn scramble it clear.

Van Persie links up with Rosicky and slips the ball back to the midfielder who shoots, first time, from the corner of the area but it travels into the arms of Robinson.

The home fans seem a little stunned. That goal came from nothing and now Blackburn have something to hold on to against the home side.

Blackburn have an early free-kick, won by David Dunn, and have an early chance to deliver from around thirty yards. The ball is shifted to Andrews who tries his luck from range but he fails to test Mannone who gathers the bobbling shot.
