Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas takes the ball around Middlesbrough goalkeeper Brad Jones to score a goal during Premier League match in London. Fabregas ended Arsene Wenger's wait for a win over Middlesbrough by scoring twice in Sunday's 2-0 success at the Emirates. Fabregas's double, his first goals in nearly six months, was enough to maintain Arsenal's bid for third place in the Premier League and piled on more relegation fears for Middlesbrough.
It was Arsenal's first win in six matches against Gareth Southgate's side and Middlesbrough are now facing an increasingly difficult scrap to avoid relegation, with this defeat - their 11Th successive loss on the road - leaving them three points adrift of safety. Arsenal's hopes of catching Chelsea to book an automatic Champions League place next season, remain alive and Wenger will prepare for the crunch semi-final with Manchester United confident of upsetting Old Trafford supremo Sir Alex Ferguson yet again.
United boss Ferguson was in the stands at the Emirates to witness Arsenal's sixth successive home win and Wednesday's match at Old Trafford promises to be yet another epic encounter in a season that has been packed with them.
