EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the intensity and passion of the FA Premiership clash between Arsenal and Reading at Emirates Stadium on March 3,2007, come alive. The image captures a pivotal moment in the game as Alex Hleb of Arsenal, with a determined look in his eyes, shields the ball from Steve Sidwell of Reading. Alex Hleb, a Belarusian international, had joined Arsenal in the summer of 2005 from Barcelona for a reported fee of £14 million. He quickly became a fan favorite with his skillful play, creativity, and ability to create scoring opportunities for his teammates. In this match, he was once again instrumental in Arsenal's attack, providing the assist for the Gunners' second goal. Steve Sidwell, on the other hand, was a tenacious midfielder for Reading, known for his energy, work rate, and tackling abilities. He had started his professional career at Chelsea before moving to Reading in 2003, where he established himself as a key player. In this encounter, he was doing his best to disrupt Arsenal's midfield and deny them possession. The atmosphere at Emirates Stadium was electric as both teams battled for supremacy. Arsenal, who were aiming for a top-four finish, knew that every point was crucial in their quest for Champions League qualification. Reading, on the other hand, were fighting against relegation and needed a positive result to boost their survival hopes. In the end, Arsenal emerged victorious with a 2-1 win, thanks in large part to Hleb's influence in the midfield. This photograph serves as a reminder of the fierce competition and excitement of the FA Premiership, as well as the individual talents and efforts of two talented players who left indelible marks on the league.
