2-1, Premier League, The Hawthorns, 2013-04-06
Rosicky 20, 49
We had to show some real fighting spirit to get the win in this game, but win it we did and it is a good boost for us as we continue to reach for that fourth spot finish!
It was brilliant for Tomas Rosicky to score twice, he has been injured a lot and rarely scores, but he certainly won this game for us. The first goal came midway through the first half, when the Czech international headed (!) the ball into the back of the net. Then he scored from a brilliant strike at the beginning of the second half and it seemed as though we would take the three points with ease.
Yet that was not the case as Mertesacker misjudged a tackle in our box, the German was sent off and West Brom converted from the penalty spot. After that it was just a matter of enduring for us and showing some never-say-die attitude, which we did!
So these points mean that we continue to advance and we are certainly getting closer to playing in the Champions League next season!
Injury Update:
- Walcott and Wilshere both stand a chance of returning for the game next week
