Athletistic / Football. Former Arsenal striker from London Andrei Arshavin recalled the legendary poker (four goals scored) in the Premier League match against Liverpool (4:4). On April 21, 2009, the Russian silenced Anfield four times.
“April 21 is not a special day for me. I don’t remember my poker. Only journalists don’t let me forget it. Recently my daughter Yana turned 16. I came across a video on social networks. – April 3, 2008, the date of his birth, that day I scored for Zenit against Bayer in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup and I “rocked the cradle”. To be honest, this moment touches me a lot more.
Entirely? I never saw that match at Anfield again. But my goals are revealed from time to time on social networks. Especially in English. But poker is just a happy coincidence. Four shots on goal – four goals But we can’t say with certainty that everything was easy! The first half wasn’t very good for me at all. And not just for me, but also for Arsenal. But then Fabregas made such a pass that it was difficult not to score at that moment.
The second objective is a cannon. Almost in the style of Kolodin. The third was lucky that the ball bounced towards me in the Liverpool penalty area. Well, and the fourth… It is important that I still have the strength to run 70 meters. After all, it was already the 90th minute of the match. Sometimes I think: have I run faster in my life than in this episode? Probably not,” Arshavin said according to Sport-Express.
Andrei Arshavin played for London Arsenal from 2009 to 2013. In the Gunners camp, he played 144 matches, scored 31 goals and provided 46 assists.
