Arsenal 6-2 Blackburn Rovers: Fabregas 4 assist 1 goal
/uk.eurosport.yahoo.com
Arsene Wenger celebrated becoming Arsenal's longest-serving manager by watching his side register a 6-2 victory over Blackburn Rovers at the Emirates.
The French tactician's 13-year tenure in charge of the Gunners meant he overtook George Allison's record and to commemorate the milestone, his side twice came from behind to hit Rovers for six.
And it was fitting that the victory should be inspired by Cesc Fabregas, a player who typifies Wenger's influence on the club having progressed through the ranks from youth player to club captain.
Fabregas made four goals - for Thomas Vermaelen, Robin Van Persie, Andrei Arshavin and the returning Theo Walcott - and scored one himself as Arsenal ultimately ran out comfortable winners.
Substitute Nicklas Bendtner added further gloss to the scoreline with a late sixth as Arsenal moved up to fourth thanks to their goals for column, which now reads 24 - the highest in the league.
But it was not all plain sailing for Wenger's men and they twice fell behind, first to Steven Nzonzi's opener and then to David Dunn's effort, both in the first half.
