Published by Robert Nolan on April 26, 2009

Two goals from Cesc Fabregas gave Arsenal a routine 2-0 victory over precariously placed Middlesbrough on Sunday to extend their unbeaten Premier League run to 20 matches.

The Spain midfielder was on target either side of half-time as the midfielder scored his first goals since October to help boost Arsenal’s morale ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
