Premier League: With 41 - Jens Lehmann makes a comeback at Arsenal

A few good responses, a more uncertain and two goals: 325 days after his last competitive match has given the former football goalkeeper Jens Lehmann his comeback for the English giants Arsenal. The 41-year-old was playing in the reserve of the Gunners in the second team Wigan Athletic on Tuesday afternoon in the starting lineup of his old and new clubs - and had suffered a 1-2 defeat.

After uneventful 20 minutes Arsenal Miquel was sent off and then got Lehmann to do. In the 36th Minute of ex-international goalkeeper was such a class parade against Jordan Rugg. In addition to light shade but also was there, a trip Lehmann in the 63rd Minutes should Arsenal team manager Arsene Wenger have driven the worry lines on the forehead.

Daniel Boateng had saved for the Germans on the line of orphaned housing. Lehmann was among the goals conceded by Callum McManaman (53) and Joe Holt (83) played out. His last game before the end of his career was temporarily Germany 2006 World Cup keeper on 8 May 2010 in the jersey of VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga with a 1-1 contest against 1899 Hoffenheim.

For Arsenal it was the last time on 4 May 2008 to the 1-0 win over Everton in the posts. Lehmann was on 15 March back to the gunners to stand there as a replacement for Manuel Almunia available. Almunia is currently the einizge experienced keeper, the team manager Arsene Wenger after the injury by Wojciech Szczesny and Lukasz Fabianski is still available.

Lehmann sat at the London League game on 19 March at West Bromwich Albion (2-2) for the first time on the bench, as an error by Almunia helped the Baggies to a point. The next league game, meet the Gunners, currently five points behind defending champion Manchester United second in the Premier League, on 2 April at Blackburn Rovers.
