Yes it was heart break at the end, but it was a match in which the young Theo matured and showed all his doubters that he is a world class player. It all happened at Anfield on 7th April 2008, in the second leg of the champions league quarter final match.
Liverpool were ahead after scoring an away goal at the Emirates in the first leg although the score was 1-1, they needed just a draw to secure their birth semi finals. I knew they would play shitty football to ensure this, and thats what Liverpool did.
Arsenal had massive amounts of possession, but lacked the cool finish and Liverpool players were all over in the box with just one or two players near the middle line. Some time into the second half and the score was 2 - 1 to Liverpool . We were losing although playing beautiful football. Some refereeing decisions did go against us.
Then in the second half, Arsene Wenger introduced "Theo Walcott" hoping he would be able to make the same effect as he had done at San Siro when we beat AC Milan at their home 0 - 2, thanks to a howler from Cesc and the second was crafted by Theo giving an incisive pass to Adebayor....
What hapened that night at Anfield?
"Theo Walcott gets past atleast four Liverpool players and then finishes his remarkable run with the perfect assist to Adebayor!"
Watch the video for words cannot really explain the class.
