"Then pass it to me."
Ma'el patted his chest, and the two were then surrounded by their rushing teammates.
They soon took a 1-goal lead into halftime, but the lead didn't last long.
Just 5 minutes into the second half, Ruven Roquena's cross hit Alexander Song's knee and bounced into Arsenal's net.
Two to two!
It's a tie again!
9 minutes later, Blackburn forward Yakubu, who had scored in the first half, got a perfect chance for a counterattack. He received a pass from Nzonzi and went one-on-one with Szczeny.
"Boom!"
Seeing Szczeny's reckless charge, Yakubu lobbed the ball from outside the box. After bouncing on the ground, it finally landed in the net.
Three to two!
Blackburn is leading!
Wenger quickly replaced Gervinho with Walcott and Alexander Song with Shamakh, switching to an aggressive 4-2-4 formation.
In the 69th minute, Arsenal launched a rapid counterattack, with six midfield and forward players pressing forward.
