Road To The Final

Rolling Thunder 0-4 Arsenal UK

Arsenal produced a scintillating performance to dispose of Rolling Thunder. The midfield played to a high standard dominating possession and creating 6 chances, whilst scoring all the goals. The midfield heavy line-up showed that Arsenal can play gritty games and march their way through opponents. Arshavin showed fine form in the first game and DomBrown was hoping that him and the other midfielders could create chances and try and win their games or at the very least, perform well.

Arsenal UK 3-2 Splott Rovers

Another great display from the Arsenal midfielders ensured another victory in the cup. This time they created no fewer than 9 chances, with Arshavin having a hand in all 3 goals. Conceding the 2 goals may have bothered most managers but evidently not DomBrown, his team were creating and converting chances for fun, as long as they scored more goals they were happy. Da Silva notched up 2 goals as well, which would have pleased DomBrown as Arsenal UK looked like a strong outfit even from these 2 early games.

Arsenal UK 1-0 The Vikings

A solitary da Silva goal was enough to see Arsenal edge through in this tight encounter. The 35th minute was when the ball made the net bulge and Arsenal dominated possession, and created slightly more chances than their classier opponents. This had DomBrown stunned as his team wee shaping up to be the underdogs for this pre-season cup. The team was producing thoroughly solid displays to gain them a reputation which will have made them one of the teams to avoid in the cup.
