Epic Arsenal Comeback

Without any doubt, the match yesterday night will be a match to remember for all the gunners. Reading and Arsenal were facing each other in the National One Cup. After 38 minutes, Reading had scored already 4 goals, while Arsenal wasn't even able to reach the goal. It looked like Wenger and his team were saying goodbye to the competition and Reding was already in the quarter finals. The Madejski Stadium went crazy.



But the amazing wasn't that 5th best of the season was loosing against the 3rd worst. The amazing was what happened after the 44th minute. If you were one of those who turned off the TV, changed channel or went early to sleep, you've missed the beauty of football. One minute before the break, Theo Wallcot woke up and score the first of his three goals of the night. Then, in the second half, the French back up arrived to save the team. Giroud headed the second, and Laurent Koscielny amended his own goal heading the third goal in the '89. It was Walcott again who levelled the match in the '95 and brought his team from the debacle to the extra time.

Walcott exultant after his hat-trick that led the comeback

More goals to come in the extra time for both teams. First was Marouane Chamakh, for Arsenal, with an strong shot from outside the box that entered right next to the post. At the end of the first half Arsenal had already finnished the comeback, but after the break, Progebnyak levelled for Reading. 5-5 after the starting 4-0 and just 14 minutes left. When everyone was thinking already on the penalty shoot-out, again Walcott, and again in the last sigh got Arsenal ahead on the scoreboard completing his hat-trick. But it wasn't the last. In the '123, Chamakh scored his second goal and the 12th of the night.
