Arsenal Performance

So I did jinx Leeds after all as they lost 2-1 to Cardiff. But what a performance to draw 1-1 against the mighty Arsenal! I am glad that I hyped the match up as it didn't disappoint. I can't believe Leeds were only a couple of minutes away from knocking a top 4 Premiership side out for the second successive year running. It would have been the first Arsene Wenger had lost in the third round as well. In the end a dubious penalty was converted by Cesc Fabregas who had come off the bench to 'save' Arsenal from embarassment. Theo Walcott has already admitted he dived to get the penalty which is quite surprising but I wish the ref could have seen that! At least the Leeds penalty was very clear as it was a stupid tackle by Denilson and scored by Robert Snodgrass. The replay at Elland Road will have a tremendous atmosphere and after that performance there is no reason why Leeds can't battle out a win to play Huddersfield Town in the next round. A special mention to Sanchez Watt who is on loan from Arsenal but Wenger gave him permission to play and caused his parent club a few problems obviously having something to prove.
