Away goal puts Gunners on top of peak
Emmanuel Adebayor netted a decisive away goal at the same time as Arsenal came from at the back to safe and sound a 1-1 draw against Villarreal in the primary leg of their Champions League quarter-final at El Madrigal. The Togo striker finished it three in two games, and five in this European campaign, with a dazzling scissor-kick later than 66 minutes to call off out an equally inspiring opener from home captain Marcos Senna. Arsenal looked to act in response instantly and strained a couple of corners. A stylish turn and run by Theo Walcott fed Cesc Fabregas, who slipped Samir Nasri, replacing the cup-tied Andrey Arshavin, in on the left part of the area. The Frenchman's diagonal drive was pressed in the order of the post by Diego Lopez. As the hour mark approached, it was enduring to be a night of disappointment for the Barclays Premier League side, which had been on a well-mannered run of form heading keen on the game. Walcott floated a ball into from the right, which Adebayor glanced wide. In attendance seemed slight jeopardy when Fabregas, who set up together Adebayor's goals against Manchester City on Saturday, lofted a high ball keen on the Villarreal penalty area. Even though enclosed by three markers and by means of his backside to goal, Adebayor collected the ball going on his chest previous to dispatching a brilliant scissor-kick into the far corner.
