2-1, The FA-cup, Emirates, 30/1 -11
Bendtner 21,
Fabregas 86 (pen)
Our Captain Fantastic has kept us in this competition once again! And once again it was a late penalty that did it for us!
But this was a really tough game for us, but thankfully we made it through!
We dominated the game in the first half, starting with some great chances, though after barely 30 minutes Nasri picked up a hamstring injury, Rosicky replaced him, having recently returned from sickness.
Then came the goal, another great strike from Bendtner, Chamakh provided a brilliant pass for the Dane to finish off.
Just before half time everything changed for us though, Squillaci was shown red and we were down to ten men with another 45 minutes left!
For the second half Song came on to replace Chamakh and take place in the heart of defense, then it seemed inevitable for Huddersfield to score and they did from a corner.
It certainly felt that we would at the best get another replay, then came Fabregas and inspired the team to start pushing forward once again.
Eventually Bendtner was brought down in the box, penalty was awarded and Fabregas stepped up to take it, and scored!
Injury Update;
-Nasri is expected to be out for at least three weeks, and is likely to miss the Barcelona clash.
-Diaby was back for this game but obviously didn't look at his best just yet, Almunia returned as well for this game, he had a good game.
-As mentioned Rosicky came back for this game as well after being out for some time being ill.
