‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ grosses 0.5M to start
But we just don’t know how many repeat viewers and part-time Star Wars fans are going to show up on Sunday. But so far, ” The Force Awakens ” is attracting the interest of seemingly everyone.
Theo Walcott gave the Gunners the lead with a sumptuous strike from the edge of the area just after the half-hour mark, before Olivier Giroud added a second just before half-time.
Spain’s socialists say they would vote “no” to another People’s Party government
The result was so blurred that a German government spokeswoman said it was impossible to determine who deserved congratulations. The Spanish Socialist Workers Party got 91 seats, compared with 110 four years ago, when it was ousted from power.
Yaya Toure pulled a goal back for City with a superb left-footed shot eight minutes from the end, but City could not equalise.
US Congress Moves to Tighten Controls on Visa-free Travel
Cruz has called for blocking all refugees from Syria and other countries where terrorists operate from entering the US for the next three years.
And the Arsenal trio looked to be in good spirits in the dressing room after winning the final Premier League game before Christmas. The German World Cup victor assisted both of Arsenal’s goals this evening, completed 89% of his passes and generally made a mockery of Yaya Toure and Fernandinho in midfield. “That’s class from a class player”.
Wenger feels it took passion over panache for his side to secure a victory which leaves them second in the table behind leaders Leicester and four-points clear of third-placed City. So we won against them we know our quality so we can win the league.
Sanchez had been due to make his return against City after missing three games with a hamstring problem sustained in the 1-1 draw at Norwich City, but Wenger said he had suffered a “very slight” setback in training.
The goal the game needed arrived after 33 minutes, but only after City had wasted their only chance of the first half.
And things got even better for Wenger’s men on the stroke of half-time as Eliaquim Mangala gifted possession to the Gunners and Ozil again produced the assist, sliding in a pass for Giroud to finish between Hart’s legs. The goal was so unexpected that for the first time in the match Arsenal players were left scratching their heads; it was an fantastic effort by the Ivorian who was recently crowned African player of the year.
It was a huge opportunity and barely a minute later Arsenal were ahead.
Pellegrini sent on Raheem Sterling for Delph at the break, but despite an improvement in City’s play, Aguero sending a couple of tame efforts at Cech, they remained alarmingly porous at the back. They kept their shape, got two banks of four behind the ball for much of the second half and frustrated their guests.
