Comments:

League position: 7th Some sources credited Arsenal`s third goal to Eduardo. However, the match report and player profiles on Arsenal`s official web site identifield Emmanuel Eboue as the goalscorer: "Just before the hour, Arsenal made sure of the points with a third. "Eduardo`s low shot was touched onto the post by Kirkland. The ball rebounded out into a crowded area but the Croatian was the first to pounce. He fired towards the net but Eboue diverted the ball in and both players ran off celebrating." The goal was not referred to the Dubious Goals panel.
