Tonight is gonna be best football match

It is a terrible time for anybody, but especially a sports fan, with all of the sporting action around the globe nearly suspended for eternity. But the good thing about sports fans is that they have a way of perceiving the greatest defeats. I was controlling my tears Round of 16 against Bayern Munich, when we, Arsenal, held the score-line at 3-3 after two legs but lost out on away goals. But that changed our season completely, as we somehow managed to cling on to the 4th position and still qualify for next year’s Champions League. That old football game was the turning point. We are here in the middle of a pandemic, trying to take away silver linings and root for nostalgia than for what’s beyond.

I will never forget this game. Eleven minutes into the game, a sublime cross from the left-wing setup Roberts for a shocking opener. Like it was during the rest of the season, Arsenal went a goal down in the first minutes of the game. Reading scored three more critical goals as the game progressed as Arsenal looked extremely frustrated at the backline, with our star defender Laurent Koscielny scoring an own goal. Heading into the half-time, it was Reading 4-1 Arsenal, as Walcott scored one for us in the dying end of the half.

Coming from the half, Arsenal looked back in winning mentality, dominating possession, winning set pieces, all the good things. And then came a crucial performance from the same man, Theo Walcott, as he forced the game to extra time. Oh, did I forget, Koscielny redeemed us for the own goal cost by heading a bullet into the opposition’s net in the 88th minute. Once we went to extra time, you know what happened.
