Blackburn Edge Past Arsenal
Blackburn Rovers beat Arsenal last night at Ewood Park. A late strike from in-form Benni McCarthy three minutes from time ensured Rovers a place in the quarter finals of the FA Cup.

Arsenal were unlucky not to go ahead with Julio Baptista missing a host of chances early on in the game. The Gunners were forced to make a series of changes from the side that lost to Chelsea in the Carling Cup final on Sunday, with Freddie Ljungberg and William Gallas amongst others being drafted in. This game was a replay as both sides failed to score in the last encounter at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium. The reward for Blackburn’s heroics is a home-time against my beloved Manchester City in the next round. Hopefully I will be travelling to the game as it is fairly close to my home and hopefully we’ll insure a place in the semi finals. Finger’s crossed!
