EDITORS COMMENTS
Great moment captured in this photo as Gilberto Silva scores Arsenal's first goal under intense pressure from Brett Emerton of Blackburn Rovers during the FA Premier League match at Emirates Stadium on December 23,2006. The score was 6-2 in favor of the Gunners, but the tension was palpable as Gilberto netted the goal, with Emerton closing in on him. Gilberto, a Brazilian midfielder, had joined Arsenal in the summer of 2002 and proved to be a valuable addition to the team. His defensive prowess and ability to win the ball back quickly became essential to Arsenal's style of play. However, he was also known for his occasional forays forward, and this goal was a testament to his offensive skills. The goal came in the second half of the game, and Arsenal was dominating the match. Blackburn, however, refused to give up, and their pressure on Arsenal's defense forced several mistakes. Gilberto's goal, therefore, came as a relief for the home team and their fans. The photo captures the intensity of the moment, with Gilberto focused on the ball and Emerton closing in. The Emirates Stadium crowd can be heard roaring in the background, adding to the excitement of the goal. Gilberto's teammates are celebrating, and the relief and joy on their faces are evident. This goal marked an important moment in Arsenal's season, as they went on to finish the league campaign in second place, just two points behind Chelsea. Gilberto's contribution to the team was crucial, and this goal was a reminder of his versatility and importance to the team.
