Arsenal in seventh heaven
Published in FilGoal on 23 - 10 - 2007

Theo Walcott and Cesc Fabregas scored twice apiece as Arsenal humiliated guests Slavia Prague 7-0 on Wednesday, equaling biggest Champions League result and moving to the brink of the knock-out stage.
Aleksandr Hleb and substitute Nicklas Bendtner were also on the score sheet and David Hubacek's own goal completed the rout.
The Londoners tied the record of the biggest Champions League triumph, registered by Juventus against Olympiacos in 2003.
England's U-21 striker Walcott marked his first Champions League start with two goals and an assist.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger couldn't have a better party for his 58th birthday that he celebrated on Monday as his side reinforced their position on top of Group H with nine points, three ahead of UEFA Cup holders Sevilla.
The Spaniards beat Steaua Bucharest 2-1 at home on the same day.

Arsenal Stroll
It took the home side just five minutes to open the scoring, with Fabregas curling past the keeper after being set-up by Hleb.
Hubacek converted the ball into his own net in the 24th minute after a terrible attempt to clear Hleb's low shot.
Walcott stretched the lead four minutes before the break when he capitalized on a dreadful error from the keeper.
The 18-year-old scuffed a poor clearance on the edge of the area, rounded the goalie and slotted home.
Arsenal, still unbeaten in the Premiership and Champions League, doubled the advantage within just 13 minutes into the second-half.
Hleb threaded home from Fabregas pass before Walcott penetrated the fragile defense and buried the ball off the post before Fabregas slammed a low shot home from Walcott's swift pass.
