A tangible game advantage over the hosts of the field Arsenal embodied already in four goals scored, having obtained in the end a confident victory. When the score was 2: 0 in favor of the Gunners, Stoke tried to turn the tide of the match with the help of Crouch's hand, which portrayed well the famous "Hand of God" in the performance of the legendary Diego Maradona. However, the Wenger team continued to crush and sent to the opponent's goal two more goals.

As a result, Arsenal earns the most important victory and gains 69 points, being only one point away from the fourth Liverpool.
