It really has been coming for quite some time now and it has finally arrived in the form of a Samir Nasri strike just outside the box. In what capped off an incredible Arsenal move, Nasri finished emphatically after Arsenal seemed to just toy with Birmingham City, slowly spreading short passes to each other and subsequently lulling Brum to sleep before pouncing on their opponents with all their might.
Birmingham City Vs. Arsenal: London Keeps Pace With Manchester As Samir Nasri And OG Sees 0-3 Lead
Nasri maintains his great scoring record against the Blues as of late thanks to the nice 1-2 he and Fabregas played with each other on the edge of Birmingham's box. 0-2 now to Arsenal as the match enters its final stages and Theo Walcott continues to prod Birmingham City with his pace down the right flank while the rest of the Gunners join in the attack.
In the 66th, Arsenal continued their pursuit of walking the ball into the goal as some fine play by Nasri and Fabregas again resulted in a Roger Johnson own goal - the Brum defender could do little in coping with Arsenal's brilliant attackers so deep into his own box.
With 20 minutes left in the match, the points on offer are headed to North London as Arsenal look to stay on the heels of the league leaders: Manchester’s United and City. With the win, the Gunners will stay in third spot on 39 points just two behind the aforementioned leaders on 41.
