I've just witness another pulsating football match again. Previously, it was the Champions League quarter final 2nd leg between Chelsea and Liverpool which ended 4-4. This time, it was thanks to Liverpool (again) and Arsenal in the English Premier League, producing the best match of the season yet and probably even one of the greatest EPL matches of all time.
I'd just finish badminton and was feeling hungry so I decided to watch the match at McDonald's at 3am. Now, I did not only got a large set of Big Mac but I was served a goal fest from the football match as well. So the first half was okay with Arsenal taking a 1-0 scoreline into the second half thanks to Arshavin but things started to get interesting after that.
Liverpool fought hard to score two goals after 4 minutes of the restart and Arsenal looked down and out. However, Arshavin had other ideas as he popped up to score another two goals in the space of three minutes. I was certainly screaming out loud with the joy of seeing Liverpool losing 3 points but then came Fernando Torres who somehow manage to score goal to make it 3-3. in the 72nd minute. By now, Liverpool were in control of the match with the home fans urging them on, they were pressing Arsenal into their own box until the 90th minute. From a resulting Liverpool corner, Arsenal broke and Liverpool were caught on the counter attack by the pacy Theo Walcott who race down the field and then passes the ball off to none other then Arshavin who then scores his 4th goal of the match. Everyone was screaming in McDonalds but it wasn't over yet, Liverpool pressed on and manage to equalise just 2 minutes later which sends all the Liverpool supporters in McDonalds out of their seats screaming and jumping like they just won the league. I guess poor Arshavin must be thinking how did he score 4 goals and not win the match.
Lukasz Fabianski does his best to keep out Yossi Benayoun's header
Fernando Torres shows his delight at scoring his second of the night
Shhh... Andrei Arshavin celebrates one of his four strikes at Anfield
Liverpool hopefuls still hoping to end their 20 years league title drought
From this 4-4 draw, Liverpool's title hopes would have taken a huge dent but in contrast, it will be good news for Chelsea as they can close the gap between them and Liverpool to just 1 point if they win. Manchester United will be playing as well so I just hope they drop points so that Chelsea could at least get nearer to the top. (I want them to win the title!!!)
Finally, I gotta say it was just amazing to watch this Liverpool vs Arsenal match and will probably watch the reply later today as well. So folks, if you still think football is boring, think again...
