Robin van Persie 1-0 Pub Team
Robin van Persie's 35th and final goal of 2011 was enough to sink QPR as Arsenal ended the year with a 1-0 victory.
The Dutchman pounced on Andrey Arshavin's neat little through ball to sweep in the winner after Rangers' Shaun Wright-Phillips was dispossessed in midfield.
Van Persie failed by a single strike to beat Alan Shearer's 16-year record for Premier League goals in a calendar year but he was still the shining light as the Gunners struggled for fluency for much of the contest.
In front of the watching Thierry Henry, Theo Walcott wasted two great chances before being replaced by Gervinho in the second half while the substitute also missed from close range as the home side sought the killer blow in vain. :rant:
