Darent Bent hits his price tag with a goal for Villa and that would be the most expensive goal in the premier league today.

I force myself to stay up late to watch this match and what you know, Aston Villa are simply changed instantly and Houllier must be proud about it. Winning the match is what matters most for him and the costly goal are well paid back by Bent.

And I thought Nasri would score his first hat-trick in this season, but that will not disappoint me anyway when Van Persie should deserved it more with his outstanding forms against Wigan.

I can't remember how many attempt that we should have been scored but quite sure we might won the match with ten goals.

Al Habsi had denied most of our scoring chances and I would make him man of the match even though they lost the match.

Van Persie might have been scored four goals but he missed the penalty in the 71 minutes when Fabregas was brought down by Caldwell.

Last meeting at The DW Stadium, Wigan played with 10 men for the rest of 10 minutes to the end of the match.

Once again, Wigan falls short of player when Caldwell was sent off in the last 20 minutes of the match.

Arsenal starts their games with the strongest squad where Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Djourou, Clichy, Song, Wilshere, Fabregas, Nasri, Walcott and Van Persie line up for the first eleven in this match.

I have been waiting for such line up in the beginning of the match and Wenger did not disappoint us when we had the best first eleven to start the match.

This is only the beginning.........rest of it will follows later on.

This match was all about Van Persie where his returns are certainly what we have been waiting for.

With such top and high forms performance he can say good bye to his nightmare.

When Van Persie start to score goals again, Arsenal will definitely going to win something in this season.

This is a very good news as we have three promising strikers which are free injury to strengthen our squad. While Chamakh and Bendtner would be eager to be back playing too.

Arsenal totally took control the entire 90 minutes of the game, Wigan doesn't seems to create danger towards us.

First goal in the 21 minutes by Van Persie, where Song pass through the ball into Wigan's defence and Van Persie was in the onside position to blast the ball into the net.

Fabregas was really in top forms too, his contribution was well paid when his cross pick up by Van Persie who volley the ball on top of the net in the 59 minutes.

Van Persie had his chance to earned his first hat-trick a bit earlier after Fabregas was brought down by Caldwell and the referee had awarded the penalty with Caldwell being sent off as well.

Van Persie failed to convert the penalty kick and the scoreline stays 2 - 0 with 20 minutes to go.

However, a ball over the top found Walcott, he held off his marker and Robin arrived to slam a shot in off Al-Habsi to make it three nil in the 85 minutes.

At last Van Persie has registered his first hat-trick for this season. Every players had a good performance today but sadly Arshavin needs more and more time to recover his true capability.

With 15 minutes to go, Arshavin was brought in to replace Nasri and everything doesn't seems going with his way.

He should thanks to Wenger who still believe that his chances to be back on his feet is well supported.

Wenger has not giving up yet with him and the only way to improve Arshavin's performance is to plays him whenever he had a chance to do so.

However, Spurs draws with Newcastle, City was downed by a goal worth £24million and MU still cruising well with five goals past Birmingham City to sat top of the table.
