Comments:
League position: 7th Unused substitutes: Pascal Cygan and Manuel Almunia The FA Premier League's Dubious Goals Committee ruled on the following: - Arsenal’s goal against Birmingham City on 2nd October was in fact an own goal (Stephen Clemence) and has therefore not been credited to Robin Van Persie.
