Dragões devastated by Arsenal 4-0
By: j | September 30th, 2008Jesualdo Ferreira’s Porto were no-match for Arsenal today as they were routed 4-0 at Emirates Stadium in Champions League action today. While Porto started with a number of reasonable scoring opportunities, after the home club got its bearings they were completely outclassed and the Dragões were lucky not to escape with a worst score margin.
Robin Van Persie opened the scoring at the thirty-first minute on a beautiful set-up from Emmanuel Adebayor who doubled the lead five minutes before the break. Unrelenting, Arsenal continued on the attack and three minutes after the break Robin Van Persie added his second of the match. Finally at the seventy-first minute of the match, Nicklas Bendtner was fouled in the area by Fredy Guarin and Emmanuel Adebayor neatly converted to make it 4-0. Arsenal had a number of glorious opportunities as the Porto’s defensive were run ragged but were unable to find the net again.

Porto were absolutely terrible. Im really worried about that.
The defence were a joke. It looked as if they didnt step into the training ground in the second half. They looked slow, tired, unmotivated, you name it.
But what really worried me was Ferreira’s reaction. He reckons that the team is alright. Is he serious?

“Terrible” is an understatement. After the early threats to score, Arsenal pulled the defense apart and they could have easily increased the score with two or three more goals. I can only guess he is trying to pose a positive front ahead of this weeks match.
