Arsenal, with 10 men, beat Blackburn 2-0 nil away. The Henry-Fabregas-Henry give and go for the second goal was very, very pretty. The Gunners' defense was spotty, but they played with confidence and control otherwise.

Thankfully, Liverpool also won comfortably today, but those two Arsenal shellackings will take a long time to fade. Jesus. Of course, if they beat Chelsea next week, that'll do it.
