<P> After failing to score against Fulham , van Persie scored again for Arsenal , this time against Wigan Athletic to make the score 4 -- 0 to Arsenal on 3 December 2011 . He then added to his tally with the only goal of the game against Everton , an exquisite volley from an Alex Song long ball . The following match , versus Aston Villa , saw him score a penalty and provide an assist . Van Persie 's final goal of the 2011 calendar year came in Arsenal 's one - goal win over Queens Park Rangers on the last day of the year . The goal took his tally for the year to 35 goals , one short of Alan Shearer 's Premier League record . </P>
