From a corner to the leg of goal, a cross came to the edge of the six, in the middle of the box. Martín Fulöp took a poor line to the ball, allowing Koscielny to get between `keeper and cross. With nobody to defend goal, Arsenal’s center half had an easy redirection into goal, giving Arsène Wegner’s side the lead.
