Arsenal Make Football History - Unbeaten for 43 Matches

Arsenal 3-0 Blackburn

Arsenal put 3 past Blackburn to beat Nottingham Forest's 26 year old record of 42 games unbeaten - and I was there to see it :-)

To be fair, Blackburn put up a fairly good fight in the first half as Arsenal were pegged back for most of the first 45 minutes. But it wasn't too long for Arsenal to break the Blackburn defence soon after the second half began as Henry guided in Bergkamp's cross.

Gilberto (actually it was Fabrigaz) made it 2 whilst Henry unselfishly passed to Reyes to make it 3.

To be honest, in the second half it could have been 6 or 7 quite easily if Henry wasn't being quite so altrusitic to his team mates instead of finishing off a series of great moves himself

Divine, sublime, its good to be an Arsenal fan right now
