In this image, two footballing legends, Alex Hleb from Arsenal and Alexy Smertin from Fulham, are locked in a fierce battle during the Barclays Premier League match between Arsenal and Fulham, held at Emirates Stadium in London on August 12,2007. The tension is palpable as Hleb, wearing the iconic red and white Arsenal jersey, attempts to outmaneuver Smertin, clad in Fulham's blue kit. Hleb, a Belarusian international, had joined Arsenal in the summer of 2005 from FC BATE Borisov and quickly established himself as a crucial player for the Gunners. His skillful play and creativity in midfield helped Arsenal dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities. Smertin, on the other hand, was a Ukrainian midfielder who had spent the majority of his career in England, having previously played for Chelsea, West Ham United, and Southampton. Known for his tenacity and tackling abilities, Smertin was a valuable asset to Fulham and often acted as a shield for the defense. Despite the intense competition on the pitch, both players displayed sportsmanship and respect for each other, making this moment a testament to the camaraderie and spirit of football. In the end, Arsenal emerged victorious with a 2:1 scoreline, but this image captures the essence of a thrilling match between two talented teams and their exceptional players. This photograph, taken by Stuart MacFarlane of Arsenal Football Club, is a reminder of the rich footballing history and the memorable moments that unfold on the Emirates Stadium pitch. It serves as a tribute to the legends like Hleb and Smertin who have graced the field and left indelible marks on the game.
