See Drogba's goal yesterday? Van Persie hasn't been scoring like that lately. His incredible goalscoring form is mainly the result of fantastic support and obviously a lot also to do with Van Persie having that striker's instinct. Van horseface-esque. But he also contributes a lot to create chances (though not usually his own goals) which Van Horseface didn't do.
So yeah - well done team.
I think this season's scoring rate is more impressive than his overall 2011 one - again this is probably to do with better support from wide players and midfield.
