At the time Martin Taylor, a footballer with questionable ability, claimed that there was no malice in his challenge on one time Arsenal man Eduardo and everyone looked at him with a mixture of disgust and bemusement. Luckily Eduardo is fine and dandy now, scored in midweek for Croatia.
It seems generally agreed, and rightfully so, that Arsenal fans hold Eduardo in high esteem for his efforts during his troubled spell at the Emirates. The Croatian international clearly has plenty of ability but periods of patchy form and a horrible injury left their mark on the talented striker. Gunners fans would have been pleased with the way the Shakhtar Dontesk man did not celebrate either of his strikes in the two games against his former club, this showed the quality of the man.
See below an example of what he is achieving in the Ukraine. This tasty volley being the 27 year old’s 7th strike of the season. Thanks to 101 Great Goals for bringing great goal this to our attention.
