Arshavin, you are my hero!

A football match hangs in balance. Score is 1-1 thanks to an own goal by Liverpool in second half. Liverpool who could have easily netted 3 goals in the first half were still the favorites to win this match. On the other hand, Arsenal play was awful. The trademark free-flowing passing football was missing for the first 50 minutes of the match. And then their was the moment of brilliance by Andrey Arshavin. A good touch to control the pass, another touch to lose his defender followed by a pure top-class strike on the goal! Voila! Arsenal had the lead!



For a change, Arsenal managed to hold on to the lead for the remaining part of the match. Perhaps, they got lucky today. But then Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.
