Arsenal were closing the gap on Manchester United at the top of the Premier League table towards the end of the 2011/12 season and thought a 1-0 victory had been clinched through Robin van Persie’s penalty in the 98th minute. But there was more shock to come. Deep into injury time, as a result of an earlier head injury to Jamie Carragher, Emmanuel Eboue was adjudged to have felled Lucas in the box and Dirk Kuyt coolly stepped up to equalise from the spot with 102 minutes on the clock.
Opening games of the season don’t come better than this clash at the Emirates.
