Great Comeback! : Arsenal FC v Bolton Wanderers

Up to the 61st minute, Arsenal was experiencing a goal-drought against the Bolton Wanderers. Bolton's attacker Matthew Taylor scored two goals, against the Gunners, on the 14' and 43' minute. Having done this, the Wanderer had their way towards a win cleared and straightened out. It was smooth sailing from there on out. Diaby's red card on the 32' really devastated Arsenal's play and left them one man short. Fabregas received a yellow card on the 43' minute. Next in the line of card holders were Arsenal's Toure and Bolton's Davies. Then another for Bolton. Things were not looking so good for the Gunners. But let's not forget that a single goal can happen in less then a second. On the 62', William Gallas delivered a nicely put goal, then followed by Robin van Persie four minutes later. With this, the game was tied. Anyone had the even chance to win the game. What was going to be measured was the teams' drive and composure in the last 20 or so minutes. Then something unexpected happened. Bolton experienced a MAJOR lapse. Bolton's Samuel committed an own goal which gave the Gunners the win. That was a very poor last minute performance by Samuel and it costed them a game. Arsenal FC won with a man short and a 2 goal disadvantage.
