I came back from holiday 15 days ago. I never thought I was going to play for Arsenal again or score a winner.I dont know what to say. I love the club and I hope I can do more. I hope it wont be the last one. The feeling I had when I scored was amazing.I rejoined the club as a fan; before I wasnt. Scoring a goal when you support the team, now I know how some of the guys who played for Liverpool or Man United or Chelsea felt when they scored a goal for the club they support.With one opportunity, its very important, you dont know if youll have a second. You have to make sure you take it. I took it well.Arsenals 1-0 win sets up a fourth round home tie with Aston Villa.
