Oba Oba Martins returns to turn somersaults in a minute from the end: it is to raise the Birmingham Carling Cup

A cynic Birmingham punishes Arsenal once again proves to be good looking but not winning, not least because the field has, however, that small samples of experience in deficit: the decisive goal of Martins is a mistake of youth and Koscielny not Szczesny understand each other. Before the Nigerian had been Zigic and Van Persie to deliver the call and response that lasted up to one minute left in the game, when you already thought of and additional penalties.

Arsenal without Fabregas and Rosicky and Walcott replaces them with Arshavin, McLeish is covered with a conservative 4-5-1 with Zigic only forward, not relying on Hleb and Bentley on the bench, preferring to keep Martins and Jerome. Part strong Arsenal 8 'goes close to scoring with Arshavin in that area to be launched on sinistroi Nasri turns his back to goal, but Foster answered with his feet.

After another blaze in the French 14 'Birmingham starts to take measures, with its midfield, which closes at 5 each way for Gunners game and more blocked by the technical point of view about competitiveness and more games where it is the Blues setting to one. So that went ahead thanks to a clever head Zigic, 28 'to correct the network tower Johnson from inside the small area.

Skip one minute and Arsenal reacts immediately: Sagna's cross from the right and Van Persie to head sends it to the side of anything. The game unlocks with actions from both sides: Zigic is the first to go close to doubling, but Szczesny says no, then Wilshere to hit the crossbar at 37 '.

Signal that the equalizer in two minutes and is realized. Arshavin does what he wants and make the right trailer for Van Persie on the edge of that small, half upside down and puts it right at the far post where nothing can Foster. The first half ends with a shot of Rosicky and the response of Foster.

The second half started as it had closed the first half: Mozart Czech shot from the edge of the 48 'and ball touches the pole to the right of the former Manchester United goalkeeper. After the initial blaze revived script already seen the Birmingham slowly comes out and the 58 'with Fahey hit the post from the edge that bounces inside the pitch but splashing outside the box on the right.

After the danger had escaped goes back to Arsenal in the 74 'and 76', first with Nasri and Bendtern then went close to scoring, but Foster, on both occasions, he says no. The race will drag towards the end but 89 'comes the incredible Szczesny Koscielny and do not understand and give the ball into an empty net to Martins that give the Carling Cup at Birmingham.

And the same to Nigeria 92 'and 94 is close to becoming the first double reject a shot from 20 yards out with Szczesny on the edge of despair and then spreading panic in the Arsenal before being stopped for a corner. And the final whistle at Wembley on their feet with Birmingham that he wins something after an eternity.
