EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant image, Laurent Koscielny of Arsenal Football Club reacts with devastation as West Bromwich Albion snatches a late victory in the Barclays Premier League match at Emirates Stadium on September 25, 2010. The French international defender, who had been a rock in Arsenal's backline since joining the club in 2010, could only watch in disbelief as the opposition scored the decisive goal in stoppage time. The Gunners had taken a commanding 2-0 lead in the first half, with goals from Andrey Arshavin and Robin van Persie. However, a second-half resurgence from West Bromwich Albion saw them claw their way back into the game, with goals from Peter Odemwingie and Chris Brunt levelling the scores. As the clock ticked down in injury time, it seemed as though the match was destined for a draw. But in the final moments, a momentary lapse in concentration from the Arsenal defense allowed Shane Long to slip through and slot the ball past Wojciech Szczesny, leaving Koscielny and his teammates crestfallen. The defeat was a bitter pill to swallow for Arsenal fans, who had been hoping for a strong start to the season after a disappointing 2009-10 campaign. For Koscielny, it was a heart-wrenching end to a game that he and his teammates had dominated for long periods. The image captures the raw emotion and disappointment etched on his face, as he comes to terms with the reality of a hard-fought match slipping away in the cruellest of fashions.
