4-4: That's Football!

Liverpool v Arsenal

Das war Premier League-Fußball, wie er sein soll! 4:4 an der Anfield Road zwischen Liverpool und Arsenal. Vier Tore Arshavin, je zwei Torres und Benayoun (Ex-West Ham)!
Zitat des Abends von Arsenal-Manager Arsene Wenger (mit einem berechtigten Seitenhieb auf den schrecklichen Rasen, den wir am Wochenende bei den beiden FA Cup-Semifinals in Wembley erlebten):

“This just shows that on a good pitch you can play good football in the
Premier League. We are half happy because we scored four but half unhappy at
conceding four and drawing after leading 4–3 with two minutes to go.
Arshavin showed what a great player he is, with that short back-lift of his
he is very dangerous. How United bounce back against Portsmouth [tonight] could be decisive. I think it all depends on their games in hand but don’t worry
Liverpool, we will go to Manchester United there and try to win in the
championship as well as the Champions League.”

Martin Samuel fasste dieses unglaubliche Match in der Daily Mail wie folgt zusammen:

“Arsenal won the game, then lost it, then won it again, then let it slip, won
it a final time and blew it in injury-time. Every single goal changed the status
of the match, which is a remarkable sequence of action.”

Andrej Arshavin: "Four goals - unbelieveable!"
