1-1, Premier League, Emirates Stadium, 28.04.2013
Walcott 2
We certainly cannot afford to lose any more points now, if we are to succeed in finishing at least fourth. Since I watched this game live, naturally I experienced it as intense and thrilling, where the first half was by far the best from us.
To take the lead after merely two minutes was quite astounding. Theo Walcott proved that he can well and truly fire some amazing shots as his effort found the back of the net. And as mentioned, we were great during the first half, creating lots of chances and dominating the play. Unfortunately Sagna did not have a very great game, and when he brought down van Persie in the box at the end of the half and the Dutchman could score from the penalty spot the disappointment was immense.
In the second half we were not quite the same team and suffered from it. Nothing seemed to go our way and we never looked very likely to score another goal. Fortunately neither did United, and if we win all of our remaining games we are likely to play in the Champions League next season.
