It was a night when everything seemed to be against us. A wonder strike from Senna gave the host the lead in merely 9 minutes from starting time. Almunia was later subbed by Fabianski due to injuries. Our most experienced player on the pitch, William Gallas, was also stretchered off and replaced by Djourou. For most of the time, Villarreal looked the more dangerous of the two teams.
However, we managed to hold our grounds and a stunning, acrobatic strike from Adebayor gave us our equalizer. The game ended with a draw and we came away with an important away goal. Three assists and three goals in two games from Cesc Fabregas and Adebayor. If they could carry on their form till the end of the season, we might end on a high in a subwhat disappointing season.
