Loving arseblog's take on the goal;
"Like many of you, when I was younger I was the world's greatest
footballer. Not only that, I was the world's greatest commentator too.
I would score goals and describe the action out loud as I was scoring
them. I suspect yesterday's game will inspire many a young chap to do
the same.
And Wilshere picks it up deep in his own half, plays it out wide, he
keeps running forward. Cazorla has it, he gets to the edge of their
box. Cazorla to Wilshere, he flicks it to Giroud, he flicks it back.
Wilshere doinks it back to Giroud with his heel ... the crowd are on
their feet ... they can sense something special is going to happen.
Wilshere keeps running, Giroud, with a left foot like a sand wedge,
chips it behind the defence. Wilshere is still running, he's beaten
the offside trap like a mangy cur, the ball falls perfectly to him on
his right foot. He closes his eyes because that's just how good he is
... and finishes past the keeper who can't even move.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, Goooooooaaaaaaaaaallll! The crowd are going
wild. 1-0 Arsenal!
I mean, really. I don't think I've ever really seen anything like
that. It was a once in a lifetime series of clips, chips and dinks
built around devastatingly effective movement. If it was a cartoon
there'd have been one Norwich defender turned literally inside out,
his skeleton reeling as Wilshere confuses his insides out of him."
