The final say

The stage was set. Returning to the scene where he racked up a stunning four goals in one match last season – Arsenal's dynamic Russian was always going to be hungry for this one.

As the game looked destined for a draw, Andrei Arshavin had other plans...

Despite playing out of his favoured position, he turned the backline inside-out and defined his moment with an unstoppable strike – winning the game and silencing the opposition yet again.

He's made his pledge. Destiny now awaits.
