Eduardo strikes twice after one year out

Eduardo came back tonight hoping to leave a good impression with the fans and he did he scored two goals.

 

Bendtner won a ball in the centre of the park and then played it to Vela who crossed it in and Bendtner leaped up and headed it just wide. Bendtner who was running the game so far passes it to Eduardo in our half who played an amazing long ball to Vela, who ran at the defenders and shot and blocked.

 

Eduardo who had just came back from injury showed he had the right mind with a shock shot from the halfway line.

 

Arsenal broke Cardiff’s attack with Eduardo who ran up the pitch, passed it on the wing to vela who played a chip cross into the middle. Eduardo was unmarked and GOAL!! Eduardo headers it into the back of the net. What a start after his injury.

 

The corner came in and Bendtner leaped into the air and GOAL!! Bendtner flick the ball passed Heaton.

 

The second half started lively with Arsenal pressuring Cardiff from the start. The first 10 minuets were very quite with not many chances for either side. Cardiff for the next 6 minutes pressured Arsenal with there best chance a thirty yard shoot from Bothroyd which was comfortably stooped by Fabianski.

 

 Then Bendtner pushed the ball forward and fell in the area, no penalty. Then a minute later Eduardo was in the area and was tripped up.  Penalty. Only one person to take it Eduardo. He stepped up and GOAL!! His second goal of the night. Not much happened after that with Arsenal with all the possession and some shots that went wide. Late on in the match Cardiff had a claim for a penalty.  

 

From know where Bendtner won the ball and slotted it through to Van Persie and GOAL!! Van Persie after coming on scored with his weaker foot.  Very late on in the match Van Persie hit the post. The final whistle blew and Arsenal cruised through to the next round.                               

Eduardo back for Cardiff match.

 

  After a year out of football with a broken leg and then a hamstring problem which prevented him from coming back quicker Eduardo, according to the Croatian boss Slaven Bilic Eduardo will be match fit for our fourth round replay against Cardiff on Monday.

 

Eduardo was on the bench against Spurs last Sunday however he didn’t play because he wasn’t as fit as Wenger hoped he was. 

 

 Now that Slaven Bilic has said he is fit to play he could be the partner for Robin Van Persie now that Adebayor is out for a long period with a hamstring injury. Bendtner, although on a good spell in January has gone back to his old self. Vela still needs to learn a bit more and to be a bit more confident.

 

This could resort in Eduardo playing against Cardiff. I hope he plays against Cardiff at the Emirates and scores. He could be the player we were missing for most of this season.
