Arsenal cemented their win over United with a solid win away to Everton. It is well known that The Toffees make Goodison a very difficult place to visit so Bergkamp will be happy with team. Van Persie led the team superbly with a good individual performance.
EUROPA LEAGUE LAST 32 FIRST LEG
Villarreal 1 - 3 Arsenal
(Van Persie 58', Walcott 67', Rodriguez 79', Lopez o.g. 93)
The Gunners put in a great performance to make them favourites to qualify for the next round going into the second leg. Villarreal couldn't handle Arsenal's ability to break quickly and looked like a team who deserved to be 16th in La Liga. Walcott and Van Persie were outstanding and linked up very well.
Arsenal were just good enough to beat Villarreal at the Emirates in an 'off colour' performance. Despite the away team having more possession, Arsenal created more chances and won the game late on thanks to substitute Park. The Gunners now face local rivals Tottenham as they cruised past Anderlecht to reach the last 16.

Newcastle and Arsenal will need a replay to settle this tie after an even encounter at The Sports Direct Arena. The game wasn't the most fascinating and both goals came from set pieces. The winner of the replay will host Everton in the quarter finals.

At the end of February, Arsenal sit in 3rd place in the league with 49 points from 25 games. However, their title challenge is effectively over since runaway leaders and current champions Manchester United are currently 20 points ahead of Arsenal and Chelsea. Spurs have been woeful so far this season and have only 26 points from 26 games. Wayne Rooney is looking good for player of the season as he is top of the goal scoring and Man of the Match tables.
