This was the match that I picked as the turning point of the season. It would decide who, Arsenal or Aston Villa, would succeed as a top four team. Simply put, the top 4 will include Arsenal or Aston Villa but probably not both. Villa are contenders this year. The outcome of this game showed that Arsenal could win it all.
The deciding factor was, is, and will be … Cesc Fabregas. Losing Robin van Persie was a huge blow for the season but, if we lose Fabregas, the top four will be out of the question.
We had some chances before Cesc but he showed the determination to make it happen.
Denilson came out in the 57th minute and Super Cesc arrived. He made his arrival known right away. In the 65th minute, a free kick from the top of the box was placed perfectly in te left top corner, away from Brad Friedel’s reach. The second was a break away by Walcott in the 81st minute, who served up a nice dish for an onrushing Fabregas. Unfortunately, on that same play, Cesc came up with a bad ankle and would go out.
He came, he scored, he left ….
