The Carling League Cup, Round 5, pitted Doncaster Rovers against the formidable Arsenal Football Club. The tension was palpable as both teams gave their all on the pitch, each vying for the upper hand. At the heart of Arsenal's attack was the enigmatic Dutch striker, Robin van Persie. Van Persie, then in his third season with the Gunners, had already shown glimpses of the world-class talent that would later earn him accolades and a move to Manchester United.
