Arsenal Results
Blackburn 1 -1 Arsenal
Arsenal and Blackburn preserved their unbeaten records with a bruising 1-1 draw at Ewood Park.
The Gunners opened the scoring in the 18th minute when Robin van Persie fired home from close range after Brad Friedel spilled a weak effort from debutant Eduardo da Silva.
Blackburn came back strongly after half-time and were rewarded after 72 minutes when Jens Lehmann made his second howler of the season to let in David Dunn's powerful, but straight, shot from outside the area.
Ryan Nelsen was then sent off in the closing stages as both sides battled in vain for something more than a point.

Absolutely Fabregas(Cesc)-The Best Player
Cesc has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the past two seasons and is now one of Arsenal's greatest assets - at the tender age of 20.After a promising breakthrough season at Highbury, Cesc stepped into the void left by Patrick Vieira's departure and was a revelation in the centre of midfield. Technically excellent, Cesc rarely wastes a pass and dictates the pace and rhythm of Arsenal's attacks as he probes for openings and picks out the runs of Thierry Henry and company.
Cesc is not just a creator though. He scored five times last season, including the goal which broke the deadlock on the night Juventus were humbled at Highbury and the young Catalan eclipsed his former team-mate, Vieira.
The teenager was rewarded for his outstanding displays with a call-up to the Spanish national side. He kept his place for the World Cup and emerged with his reputation enhanced after coming off the bench to inspire a comeback victory against Tunisia in the group stage.
Cesc became the Club's youngest player and youngest goalscorer shortly after joining the Gunners in 2004. On the evidence of last season, Arsenal's 'Fab 4' will be an influential figure at Emirates Stadium for years to come.

Gilberto is Arsenal's senior central midfielder and has had to shoulder extra responsibility since the departures of Patrick Vieira a cuple of seasons ago.With the departure of Thiery Henry to Barcalona,Gilberto has been given the captains arm-band and will be the main stalwart of a young and largely inexperienced arsena side.
Although not renowned for his goalscoring ability, Gilberto holds the distinction of scoring the fastest goal in Champions League history. He netted after just 20.07 seconds at PSV Eindhoven in September 2002.
At his best, Arsenal's World Cup winner is one of the Premiership's best holding midfielders; he can win tackles, protect the back four and distribute the ball calmly and effectively. His inclusion in Brazil's squad for the 2006 finals in Germany came as no surprise.
