Two..For Togo..Adebayor scores 30 and second hat trick against Derby

Just yesterday Togo international Emmanuel Adebayor was selected in this seasons team of the year. He celebrated this achievement in fine style as just minutes ago he was in smiles with his team mates as he celebrated 3 remarkable goals coming on as substitute in c in a 6-2 win against regulated team Derby. This leads his season tally to 30 goals and he now has 2 hat tricks, both against Derby The game was like a Sunday afternoon football match for the Gunners. Every one of Wenger's strikers placed their name on the score sheet. They were full of smiles and laughter as they played keep ball for prolonged periods to the frustration of their opponents. Bendtner opened the goals with a easy low shot. A mix up in the box allowed Derby to came back with a goal of their own from a corner kick. Arsenal quickly regained their lead with a goal by Robin Van Persie. RVP beat the offside trap and hit a wicked shot in to the right corner of the goal. He would leave the game during half time after picking up a thigh injury. He was then replaced by the man of the moment Adebayor. Before the injury Adebayor recieved a rare, but deserved rest and was watching the game from the side line


Adebayor took a little time to get used to the pace of the game. His team mates overwhelmed their opponents with quick and precise passing that soon resulted in Ade tapping in his first goal on the 59th minute. The gunners once again took their foot off the gas and Derby substitute Robert Earnshaw made them pay dearly as he slipped a precise shot pass reserve goal keeper Fabianski. He then preceded to taunt the Gunners with an amazing somersault and a hilarious victory dance. Arsenal were not amused and upped the tempo. This increased focus soon led to an onslaught of goals. Rising star Theo Walcott was the first to draw blood. He took a curling shot from the left that ended up in the low right corner. His goal had me reminiscing of goals scored by Thierry Henry. Adebayor then nailed the coffin shot with two lovely goals of his own. Each time he scored he was joined by Eboue and they performed their own ridiculous dance moves in front of the away crowd. His second goal came from a beautiful cross taken by left back Gael Clichy. He would have to wait until stoppage time to slip around push around goal keeper Roy Carrol to score a beautiful slip in. The Gunners were in high spirit as they playfully grabbed afte the match ball presented to Adebayor. Ade in full smiles hid the ball under his shirt and protected it with all his might. They have now clinched 3rd place in the league and an automatic Champions League slot. Congratulations Adebayor on your great achievement.
