If you had gambled on 'Tomas Rosicky opening the scoring with a header' today, congratulations. You've just won yourself a lot of money*. Arsenal put on a spell of pressure, breached the Leyton Orient defence several times, and after multiple blocked shots Nicklas Bendtner found himself free on the right and floated in a cross towards Rosicky, who nodded into the net from twelve yards with a rather perplexed Jamie Jones unable to reach the ball with a despairing dive. So it's 1-0 Arsenal, and now Orient have to chase the match on some tired legs.
Leyton Orient Vs. Arsenal: Tomas Rosicky Heads Visitors Into 1-0 Lead
*You jammy jammy person you.
Arsenal are going to enjoy forcing the home side to attack as they'll have to abandon their shell, but with the Gunners' own defence looking somewhat suspect, the game's hardly over yet. Orient have responded to the set-back with a series of attacks and have given Manuel Almunia a couple of scares already. There's just about half an hour left for the home side to get back into the game.
