Sports Question 10
We Are The Champions: Part 2 - Newly promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers came to Highbury on Boxing Day 2003 to be soundly beaten for the second time in a month. Earlier in December the Arsenal 'second string' inflicted a 5-1 thrashing of the Premiership's bottom side in the Carling League cup, and Wolves fans witnessed no Christmas spirit from a rampant Arsenal yet again. The result was 3-0 to the Arsenal and it saw two goals come from Thierry Henry and an own goal by Jody Craddock. However, the own goal had originally been awarded to one of the Arsenal defensive players who had been seen to head the ball onto Craddock and it to the goal. Which one of the Arsenal back four had his moment of glory stolen?
The correct answer is 'Sol Campbell'
After 13 minutes Arsenal took the lead through the disputed effort. From the naked eye it appeared that Sol Campbell had connected with a Thierry Henry corner and headed it into the Wolverhampton goal. However, after close tv inspection it showed that in fact Campbell had made no contact with the ball but only helped confuse Craddock into heading the ball in to his own goal. Campbell later admitted he had made no contact.
The game itself saw a 20th minute strike from Henry and a last minute effort, also from the French forward.
Played 18, Won 12 Drew 6, For 33 Against 12, Points 42.
