In this iconic photograph, taken on August 14,2005, at Highbury Stadium in London, Alex Hleb scores the second goal for Arsenal against Newcastle United in the FA Premier League. The Belarusian international's strike came just 13 minutes after Thierry Henry had opened the scoring, and it put Arsenal in a commanding position in the match. Hleb, who had joined the Gunners from Borussia Dortmund the previous summer, was a key addition to Arsene Wenger's squad. His technical ability, creativity, and work rate were a perfect fit for the Arsenal system, and he quickly became a fan favorite. The goal was a moment of pure class from the midfielder. Receiving the ball just outside the penalty area, Hleb took a few touches to create some space before unleashing a powerful left-footed shot that flew past Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given and into the back of the net. The Arsenal fans went wild as their team took a 2-0 lead, and Hleb celebrated with his teammates, basking in the adoration of the home crowd. This photograph captures the excitement and energy of that moment, with Hleb in mid-celebration and the Arsenal fans in full voice behind him. It is a reminder of a time when Highbury was the fortress of Arsenal Football Club, and of the thrilling football that was played there by some of the greatest players in the history of the game. Alex Hleb's goal against Newcastle United was a pivotal moment in the 2005-06 season, and it is a moment that will be fondly remembered by Arsenal fans for years to come. This photograph is a testament to the passion, skill, and team spirit that defined Arsenal Football Club during that era, and it is a reminder of the magic that can be created on a football pitch.
