Arsenal back in contention for the fourth place.

Cometh the hour, Cometh the man. And who better to score on Dennis Bergkamp day than the legendary Dennis Bergkamp !

Arsenal seemed to be strolling along, content to try and score when the opportunity arose, and it did come for the enterprising Hleb, who scored after a swift exchange with Henry, just before half time.

WBA clawed back into the match on the 72nd minute with Quashie scoring, beating Lehman from the edge of the box. Henry was off by now, Wenger prefering to rest him before the crucial Champions League match on Wednesday against Villareal.

On came the man, and immidiately had an effect .. Adebayor sprinted forward on the right hand side. He cut the ball back for Pires whose shot was spilled by Kuszczak. Bergkamp picked it up and cleverly cued up the Frenchman once more. He scored at the second attempt.

Finally West Brom's resistance seemed to be over. Something Bergkamp confirmed with a beauty one minute from time.

Bergkamp has a maximum of 7 games remaining for the Arsenal, the most talented individual striker to play at Arsenal, atleast i think so.
