AMR) Theo Walcott
Scored a hat-trick and lead the fight-back from the front as it was his goal just before the interval that changed the game.
Remains at the club although is going through some contract issues which is ironic because it was a similar situation leading up to the cup clash in 2012.
AML) Serge Gnabry
The young German struggled to get to grips with the game that night but has improved ever so much since and is highly regarded at the Emirates.
He has only just returned to full fitness following a long spell out with injury.
ST) Marouane Chamakh
It is fair to say the two goals on the night was the perfect send-off from the Moroccan striker, who failed to get many first team opportunities for Arsenal following this game.
Missed in the penalty shoot-out against Bradford City in the quarter-finals and was the loaned to West Ham before joining Crystal Palace on a free transfer.
Subs:
Jernade Meade – replaced Miquel on the night for his first-team debut, he then joined Swansea on a free transfer that summer but that move didn’t work out and had a loan spell with Luton Town before going on a trial Conference South outfit Sutton United last summer. He continues to ly his trade at non-league level with Hadley.
Thomas Eisfeld – had an impact when he replaced Frimpong that night, unfortunately for him first team opportunities were limited at the Emirates and is back in Germany with Bochum after a breif spell at Fulham.
Olivier Giroud – scored Arsenal’s second of the tie and is in the form of his life for the Gunners.
