With the score at 1-2 in favor of Hull City, the tension was palpable as Arsenal pressed for a goal to level the game.

Under intense pressure from Bernard Mendy, the Hull City midfielder, Gallas leaps to connect with the ball, sending it soaring towards the goal. The crowd holds its breath as the ball rises towards the crossbar, but ultimately it hits the bar and bounces away, denying Arsenal the goal they so desperately sought.
