ARSENAL VERSES STANDARD LIEGE.

The match between Arsenal and Standard Liege was exciting one. Arsenal had their top players absent for this, Andery Arshavin, Denilson, Robin Van Persie, Alumani. and Fabrianski were absent so they had a rookie goalkeeper who was nervous to make his debut in such a big match was understandable ,he shook like a leaf.Standard Liege scored the two goals in ten minutes time , Eduardo tried a fancy back heel pass only to let the ball land gently at Mangalas feet to score the first goal,Eduardo was only playing as a two game ban on him was over turned.The Arsenal fans wished the ban had stood. Then William Gallas brought down Jankovic for a penalty which he scored. Liege thought the game was dead and buried. But Niklas Bendtner scored in the 45th minute and then later on Alexander controled the ball and fell and it hit his arm for Veraemelan to score the equalizer,Liege players apealed long and hard for a handball as well as ofside. But the goal stood. Cometh the hour cometh the villan turned hero Eduardo in the dieing minutes headed the winning goal from Fabregas corner.Arsenal showed spirit to win.
