Arshavin Treble Sinks CityManchester City 2 - 4 Arsenal
A hat trick for one of Tindle's most consistent performers, Andrei Arshavin, was enough to send Cushing's expensive City side crashing out of the DFA Cup first round.
In a match that the Blue half of Manchester reportedly controlled until the 70th minute, the diminutive Russian grabbed his 7th, 8th, and 9th goals (in all competitions) to fire the Gunners through.
Arsenal will face Liverpool in the second round, and will be keen to build on an impressive comeback performance.
Bayern München 0 -2 Chelsea
In the surprise result of the second round, Chelsea, fielding 7 second choice players, made short work of (former?) bogey side Bayern Munchen. Goals from new signing Fernando Torres and Jeffery Bruma, more than enough to ease past Mr. Thompson.
Mario Gomez will face a lengthy 3 match ban for his disgraceful exit - sent off after a straight red card. Has Burns finally broken the Thompson curse? A simple win with a depleted side seems to be just the tonic necessary.
Chelsea become the first club to reach the DFA Cup Round of Three.
