Former Arsenal favourite relives ‘great’ derby goal against Tottenham Hotspur
Arsenal are preparing themselves to lock horns with bitter north-London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday lunch time, a fiery encounter which will undoubtedly play host to an array of fearsome battles across the park, controversy, and most importantly goalmouth action under the splendour of Wembley’s iconic arch.
Netting during a grudge match is a moment every player presumably dreams of accomplishing, especially in Spurs’ back yard from an Arsenal star’s perspective, and for former Gunners favourite Tomas Rosicky, the ‘special’ opportunity to tally against the Lilywhites became a ‘surreal’ reality.
In March 2014, Rosicky, now 37-years-old, bagged the winner and indeed the only goal of the game against Tottenham to condemn Tim Sherwood’s men to a 1-0 Premier League loss at White Hart Lane, a barnstorming thunderbolt from the edge of the box which gave he and his teammates the lead and ultimately the bragging rights, all within the opening two minutes of the testing tie.
Speaking to the club’s official website, ‘little Mozart’ relived his ruthlessly dispatched strike which whistled past a hapless Hugo Lloris, an instance which left everyone in attendance ‘shocked’ and awestruck by the mastery and technique of the Czech’s pinpoint execution.
