Arsenal ease to 3-0 derby victory over Spurs

A quickfire first half double set Arsenal on their way to a comfortable 3-0 Premier League victory over north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

A close first half was transformed minutes before the break when Robin van Persie met Bacary Sagna's low cross for Arsenal's first before Cesc Fabregas scored a brilliant second just moments later.

Sagna and Van Persie combined once more after the break for Arsenal's third and the Dutchman's seventh of the season, while substitute Eduardo da Silva spurned an easy chance for a fourth.

League leaders Chelsea travel to Bolton Wanderers in the pick of the 1500 matches while Manchester United host Blackburn Rovers.
