The Gunners took an early lead after defender Anton Ferdinand dillied and dallied until midfielder Cesc Fabregas was too close, and the Spaniard put a foot out to block the long pass. And what he got in return was a goal, as the ball struck his foot and ballooned over goalkeeper Simon Mignolet from close to 40-yards out.But the freak incident also saw Fabregas being injured, which probably began the problematic injury issues that the skipper has had to deal with since.
