In this photograph, Arsenal's Francis Coquelin (number 17) triumphantly lifts the Carling Cup after securing a hard-fought 2:0 victory over West Bromwich Albion at Emirates Stadium on September 22, 2009. The third round match of the Carling Cup, a domestic cup competition in English football, marked an important moment in Arsenal's season and Coquelin's young career. Coquelin, a French midfielder, had only made his Arsenal debut in the previous league game against Blackpool, but he quickly established himself as a key player in the team. In this encounter against West Bromwich Albion, he put in a commanding performance, breaking up the opposition's attacks and setting the tempo for Arsenal's dominance. The first half ended goalless, but Arsenal came out strong in the second half. Eduardo scored the opener in the 53rd minute, and Coquelin played a crucial role in the build-up. The second goal came from a set-piece, with Andrey Arshavin curling a beautiful free-kick into the net in the 69th minute. Coquelin's contribution was once again evident as he won the free-kick after being fouled on the edge of the box. The victory was a morale-boosting one for Arsenal, who had started the season inconsistently. Coquelin's impressive display earned him plaudits from fans and pundits alike, and he went on to become a regular in the team throughout the season. This photograph captures the excitement and joy of that moment, as Arsenal celebrated their progress in the Carling Cup and the emergence of a new talent in their midfield.
