2-1, Carling Cup, Emirates, 28/10 -09
Merida 19,
Bendtner 50
A very strong perfomance from a mixed Arsenal side, everyone was great at their position and it was some great individual attacks that brought the goals.
Merida opened the scoring with an amazing strike, the shot from just outside the box bounced in off one of the posts, quite an astonishing first strike for the club!
And on the bench you could see that Cesc Fabregas, a fellow Catalan, was the first on his feet.
A couple of minutes later on Liverpool equalized with another stunning strike, but we remained in firm control of the game, and 5 minutes into the second half they got their richly deserved lead, Merida passed the ball into the box, where Bendtner and Ramsey exchanged ball to give Bendtner the space he needed to finish hard and high.
It was a great game and we got to see some comeback players, Nasri and Fabianski returned, but unfortunately Fabianski will be out for three more weeks after picking up a new thigh injury in the game.
Bendtner and Eduardo also returned, but they hadn't been sidelined for quite as long as Nasri(broken leg) and Fabianski(thigh injury).
