Not much to say about this defeat really, for 70 mins Arsenal put on a textbook display of how to lose a football match in a game that they were really expected to win quite comfortably.
Some grim stats:
-Eboue completed 8/15 passes in 56 minutes
-3/10 of Arshavin's corners found a teammate
-Nasri completed 1 pass into the box (a corner)
-Song won 5/11 tackles
-Eboue and Rosicky attempt 0 tackles; Koscielny and Diaby lost the 2 tackles they each attempted
-Clichy lost 6/7 aerial duels
-Nasri attempted 10 shots; the next highest was Sagna with 4; Chamakh and Arshavin managed 3 apiece in 90 minutes
-West Brom had 5 shots on target during the match, they scored from 3 of them; Arsenal had 6 shots on target despite having 30% more possession
-Arsenal conceded 2 goals within the space of 3 minutes
