Arsenal 3 - 1 Sunderland

It stinks not being able to watch the games live, but I can get highlights.  Three beautiful Arsenal goals (and a fine one from Sunderland) decorated this game that saw Wenger extend his record of never having lost a third-round (i.e. first game) FA Cup tie.  Well done Hector!  I firmly believe that Joel Campbell's willingness to cover frees Bellerin for those effective overlaps.  He'd be less likely to bomb forward with Walcott in front of him.  It was great to see Ramsey finish with such aplomb, and Joel is becoming more confident every game.  Is Iwobi as good as he looked on the day?  Maybe not, but he showed tremendous promise.

So, Burnley at the Emirates next.  I hope we take it seriously.  Three in a row would be nice, and the squad has real depth these days.  When Alexis gets back, we will be a scary proposition for just about every opponent.
