Rosicky's first

As usual, the away team scoring first at the Emirates. This time around, deep into the second half, I was panicking… can the Gunners level it, force a draw, let alone win the match? I had my doubts…

At the end of 90 minutes… What a relief! Final score reads 2-1. An Arsenal win.

The last 9 minutes saw Arsenal storming back with two goals. Firstly, Fitz Hall scoring an own goal after Mathieu Flamini’s low cross from the right. Then, just five minutes later, Tomas Rosicky flying in with a close-range header for his first Premiership goal. Terrific cut back cross from the Beast, I dare say.

I have always thought well of Chris Kirkland as an excellent up and coming young goalkeeper during his time at Liverpool. After last night’s match, that opinion changed. Besides his injury woes, he is actually quite good at time wasting. Quite oddly, Lehmann got a yellow card for time wasting near the end of the match. Football is a strange game. A team’s fortunes can change just in a matter of minutes.

Well, the record still stays intact. Any visiting team that had scored first would either leave the Emirates with a draw or loss. No one has won there yet.

Quite amazing… Landzaat’s screamer, Heskey’s incredible miss, Flamini’s quite certain penalty area foul and Rosicky’s first. What a match to end my weekend.
