The game against Stoke City in Emirates Stadium was really an important match for Arsenal. They had to collect three points and make the gap within 1 point limit and they finally succeeded.
The game against Stoke City was a chance to decrease the gap between the leading team Manchester United and Arsenal. Although the main striker Robin Van Persie and the central Back Koscielny were absent in that match due to injury suspension, Arsenal looked confident against Stoke City.
The 7th minute corner acted as a luck for the team as Bendtner assist for Squillaci and he scored through header between the center of the post leaving goalkeeper in dilemma. The game responded well till the 13th minute of the game. Suddenly, the Arsenal Captain Cesc Fabregas got his old injury back. He leaved the field and joined the bench due his hamstring problem.
There was more to come after second half as the bull like players from Stoke City repeatedly attacked Arsenal players and Walcott got injured. He was clearly fouled but the referee pointed for the play on signal. That was the worst decision of all till now. He felt in the ground like a wounded animal and the referee was doing nothing. He was subbed by Denilson. Later the doctor found that he too has injured his hamstring.
According to the Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger after the match, Fabregas has injured his hamstring and he is not sure for Sundays Final match against Birmingham City where as Theo Walcott has seen serious to his injury so he will be out for Sundays Match.
