Fortress Anfield? I think not!

Quite a daunting task…facing the Cup holders and at Fortress Anfield.

Well, two moments of brilliance from Rosicky and a typical Henry wonder goal sealed the match and sent the Gunners to the Fourth Round. The two Rosicky goals are surely to be one of his many classics in the years to come….

Rosicky’s first was a perfectly crafted curler into the top corner and the Czech’s second was a low shot after an incredible mazy run. The 3-1 scoreline was flattering, but the Gunners didn’t really dominate, they just took their chances well. Liverpool hold the lion’s share of ball possession. Kolo Toure and Philippe Senderos held the defence superbly.

Dirk Kuyt pulled one back around the 70th minute. It sort of set up a grandstand finish as the Anfield faithful urged the home team on….However, seven minutes from time, Thierry Henry scored the decisive third goal to kill the game.

With Van Persie substituted and playing as a lone striker, the moment of magic came… the Arsenal captain snatched possession, knocked the ball on to the left flank, robbed the ball past ever-reliable Carragher, raced towards goal, cut inside and fired home!

Fortress Anfield? I think not.
