Robin outpost Persies initial idea given 31 October, carrying been sidelined for five months with an ankle injury, had put the Gunners brazen early in the initial half usually for David Dunn to equalize from close range usually prior to the interval.
Arsenal, who have still to pledge third place in the table, had endured a small earthy battles on this belligerent over the years but this was not one of them.
Set-pieces from both sides dominated in the opening 45 mins but once Blackburn sensed their event they seized it and could simply have been awarded a chastisement early in the second half for Sol Campbells awkward plea on Morten Gamst Pedersen.
Their tactic of make-up the chastisement area with bodies and probably surrounding Fabianski each time there was a possibility to get the round in to the box was one the Poland general struggled to cope with.
Fabianski was deputising for the harmed Manuel Almunia, not counterclaim to the peculiar blunder himself, but his opening did small to instil certainty in his defence.
But there was an air of casualness about the Gunners as early as the third notation when brazen Carlos Vela gave an denote of because this was his initial Barclays Premier League begin in a year and a day.
Ryan Nelsen unsuccessful to cut out the through-ball meant for Theo Walcott but with goalkeeper Paul Robinsons hesitancy keeping him secure to his line the England winger was means to pick up and cranky usually for the Mexico general to sidefoot far-reaching of an dull goal.
Three mins after Blackburns hazard from set-pieces was with pictures as Pedersens 25-yard free-kick had Fabianski diving to his right to save well.
But it was a dead-ball smoothness by Arsenals Samir Nasri in the 14th notation that constructed the opening goal.
Bacary Sagna flicked on at the nearby post and Van Persie was on palm to head in his eighth idea in eight matches opposite Roversmore than he has scored opposite any alternative Premier League club.
The Holland general afterwards forced Robinson in to a low save to his right from a 25-yard free-kick on the half-hour.
Set-pieces one after an additional to yield the most appropriate chances and Fabianksi, who did not see gentle underneath pressure, had to tip over an additional Pedersen free-kick.
Three mins prior to half-time an additional dilemma brought a goal, this time an equaliser for Rovers.
Pedersens severe dilemma forsaken to Nelsen who rolled a pass to Keith Andrews on the right of the chastisement area and his driven cranky deflected off striker Jason Roberts to Dunn who tapped home at the far post.
Four mins after half-time Pedersens miss from a one-on-one with Fabianski was ruled educational by an offside flag.
The Norway general had run from low to pick up Dunns pass by the center of Arsenals counterclaim but he overhit his throw and the round landed on tip of the net.
Within five mins Pedersen had a possibility to set free himself from Andrews" dinked pass but shot as well close to Fabianski.
As he attempted to reach the miscarry he was felled by a awkward plea from Campbell but arbitrate Martin Atkinson awarded usually a corner.
On the hour surrogate Junior Hoiletts initial hold carrying transposed Grella saw him glow in a shot unfailing for the tip dilemma that Fabianski palmed behind.
Wenger sent on Andrey Arshavin, creation his initial coming given the finish of Mar after a calf problem, for Vela but prior to the Russian had possibility to get concerned Blackburn took the lead.
Pedersens dilemma was drilled in to the six-yard area and Fabianski came but unsuccessful to connect, permitting Samba to head in from 3 yards out.
Wenger sent on Eduardo for Eboue in an try to get the equaliser but Allardyce responded by receiving off playmaker Dunn and promulgation on centre-back Phil Jones to seaside up the counterclaim in a five-man backline.
Rovers hold on for 4 mins of combined time to move up to 10th in the list and pointer off with an considerable jot down at Ewood Park, where they have lost usually 3 times.
