Great moment captured in the Carling Cup Final between Birmingham City and Arsenal in 2011! In this thrilling photo print, the jubilant celebration of Birmingham City's Obafemi Martins after scoring the team's second goal is the focus. Martins' wild dance with his teammates is in stark contrast to the dejected expressions of Arsenal's Laurent Koscielny and Wojciech Szczesny, who are left watching in disbelief as their title defense slips away. The Carling Cup Final, held on February 27,2011, at Wembley Stadium, was a closely contested match between the two teams. Birmingham City, under the management of Alex McLeish, had defied the odds to reach the final, while Arsenal, led by Arsene Wenger, were the favorites to win. The first half of the game ended goalless, but Birmingham City came out strong in the second half. In the 53rd minute, Martins scored the opening goal, and just five minutes later, he added another one to put Birmingham City in a commanding 2-0 lead. Arsenal tried to mount a comeback, but they were unable to breach the Birmingham City defense, and the game ended in a 2-1 defeat for the Gunners. This print is a testament to the excitement and drama of the Carling Cup Final and the unforgettable moment when Birmingham City's Obafemi Martins scored his double strike, leaving Arsenal's Koscielny and Szczesny in disbelief. The image is a brilliant capture by renowned sports photographer Nigel French, who has documented many iconic moments in football history. This print is a must-have for any Birmingham City or football fan's collection.
