Great moment in Arsenal history: Thomas Vermaelen Scores First Arsenal Goal In the vibrant atmosphere of Emirates Stadium on the 4th of October, 2009, Thomas Vermaelen etched his name into Arsenal Football Club's annals with an unforgettable goal against Blackburn Rovers. The Belgian defender, who had only joined the Gunners a few months prior, was poised to make a significant impact on the Premier League stage. As the clock ticked past the hour mark, Arsenal, clad in their iconic red and white stripes, held a commanding 5-2 lead over Blackburn Rovers. The visitors, dressed in their blue and white kit, were struggling to keep up with Arsenal's relentless attacking play. The crowd, a sea of passionate supporters, were on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the next goal. Suddenly, the opportunity presented itself. A corner kick was awarded to Arsenal, and the crowd roared with excitement. Vermaelen, standing tall at the far post, readied himself for the set piece. The ball arced towards him, and with a powerful leap, he sent a thundering header towards the goal. Paul Robinson, the Blackburn goalkeeper, was left grasping at thin air as the ball sailed past him, striking the back of the net. The crowd erupted in a cacophony of cheers and applause, celebrating Vermaelen's first goal for the club. Arsenal's 6-2 lead was a testament to their dominance on the day, and Vermaelen's goal served as a symbol of his potential and the team's unyielding spirit. The image of Thomas Vermaelen scoring that goal remains a cherished memory for Arsenal fans, a reminder of the Belgian's invaluable contribution to the team's success.
