EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant image, Arsenal's star striker Robin van Persie lies on the turf at City of Manchester Stadium, receiving treatment from Arsenal physio Colin Lewin after being struck in the head by a cruel challenge from Manchester City's Emmanuel Adebayor during their Barclays Premier League clash on September 12, 2009. The expression on Van Persie's face conveys a mixture of pain, shock, and frustration as he is attended to by Lewin, with teammates and coaches looking on in concern. The incident occurred in the second half of the game, which saw Manchester City emerge victorious with a score of 4-2. The result was a bitter pill to swallow for Arsenal fans, who had high hopes for their team that season. Van Persie, who had already scored four goals in the league campaign, was a key player for the Gunners and his absence due to injury was a significant blow. The challenge by Adebayor, a former Arsenal player, added fuel to the fire in an already heated rivalry between the two clubs. The incident sparked controversy and led to calls for tougher action against violent play in football. Van Persie's injury also brought attention to the importance of player safety and the role of physios in ensuring the well-being of athletes on the field. Despite the setback, Van Persie's resilience and determination saw him recover from the injury and continue to shine for Arsenal. This image serves as a reminder of the physical demands of professional football and the sacrifices players make to entertain and inspire fans around the world.
