vanpersie-stoke

Robin van Persie scored twice as Arsenal ended their season in style.

Cesc Fabregas’ low cross was turned into his own net by James Beattie and Van Persie then scored with a penalty after being fouled by Ryan Shawcross.

Vassiriki Diaby headed the third and Van Persie hit the bar with a free-kick before Stoke’s Ricardo Fuller netted a penalty after being fouled by Denilson.

Rory Delap’s error allowed Van Persie to fire in Arsenal’s fourth and Gunners defender Kolo Toure then hit the post.

All the goals came during a first half in which Stoke were totally outclassed and had to replace keeper Steve Simonsen with Thomas Sorsensen, who had been left out of the starting line-up.
