In this electrifying moment captured at The Hawthorns on May 13, 2012, Israeli international Yossi Benayoun and Dutch striker Robin van Persie celebrate Arsenal's first goal against West Bromwich Albion in the Barclays Premier League match. The stage was set for a thrilling finale to the season, with Arsenal aiming to secure a top-four finish and a place in the Champions League. Benayoun, who had joined Arsenal on loan from Chelsea earlier in the campaign, opened the scoring with a cool finish from close range, following a swift counter-attack. The goal was a significant one, not only for the team's European aspirations but also for Benayoun, who was making his last appearance for Arsenal before returning to Chelsea at the end of the season. Van Persie, Arsenal's star player and top scorer, was instrumental in the move that led to the goal, and his involvement in the celebrations was a testament to the team spirit and camaraderie within the Arsenal squad. The image of Benayoun and van Persie embracing each other in jubilation encapsulates the unity and determination that drove Arsenal forward in the 2011-12 season. As the crowd roared its approval, Arsenal pressed on, determined to add to their tally and secure a valuable three points. This goal was a turning point in the match, and it set the tone for an exhilarating finale to the season, with Arsenal ultimately securing a 3-1 victory and a place in the Champions League.
