Arsenal 4-0 Blackburn Rovers

Andrey Arshavin netted a brace as Arsenal beat Blackburn Rovers 4-0 at the Emirates Stadium.

Arshavin opened his Arsenal account as an attacking masterclass saw the Gunners to a handsome victory over Blackburn in their Barclays Premier League match.

Theo Walcott, restored to the starting XI following a cameo against Roma in midweek, was in electric form all afternoon but the headlines will go to the £15m Russian and substitute Emmanuel Eboue, who scored twice at the end.

Arshavin netted a fine individual effort after 65 minutes and may yet be credited with a second after his heavily deflected shot gave Arsenal the opener after just 80 seconds, while Eboue benefited from a tap-in and a penalty.
