EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the moment Thomas Vermaelen scored his first goal for Arsenal Football Club in a thrilling 6-2 victory over Blackburn Rovers during the 2009 Barclays Premier League season. The Belgian defender, who joined the Gunners from Ajax Amsterdam in the summer of 2009, is seen celebrating excitedly with his teammates after finding the back of the net at Emirates Stadium. Vermaelen's goal came in the 57th minute, with Arsenal leading 4-2. The defender rose highest to meet a corner kick from Andrey Arshavin, powering a header past Blackburn goalkeeper Paul Robinson to extend Arsenal's lead. The crowd erupted in cheers as Vermaelen wheeled away in celebration, marking a memorable moment in his Arsenal career. The victory was a crucial one for Arsenal, who were looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2-2 draw against Liverpool in their previous league game. The win saw Arsenal move up to third place in the table, just three points behind leaders Chelsea. Vermaelen went on to become a key figure in the Arsenal defense, making over 150 appearances for the club before moving on to Barcelona in 2014. His goal against Blackburn Rovers remains a fond memory for Arsenal fans, highlighting the Belgian's impact on the team during his time at the Emirates.
