So Arsenal are finally beaten in the Premiership. Kudos to them for lasting till December, along with fellow unbeaten rival Liverpool. But a determined, gritty and more organized Middlesbrough completely deserved the victory and even 2-1 was unjust. For all of the Gunners' attacking potential, they never really tested the rookie Ross Turnbull and were greatful that Tomas Rosicky popped up to give the scoreline some respect.
Hats off to Boro for showing that the Gunners have their weaknesses which can be exposed if things are going right. Of course, the absence of Cesc Fabregas, Mathieu Flamini and Alex Hleb was too much for Arsene Wenger, but the Frenchman's belief in his squad could force us to ask questions about over-estimation of resources.
Boro manager Gareth Southgate will be relieved and Wenger will definitely be targetting January, if his three star midfielders dont make a return too soon.....
