Sport's Goal Of The Month

The start of the 2006– 07 season incorporated an airborne volley against Charlton Athletic that Wenger called "the objective of a lifetime" and was later named BBC Sport's Goal of the Month for September, and he topped off the schedule year by being named the 2006 Rotterdam Sportsman of the Year. His season, in any case, finished ahead of schedule for the second time in his profession on 21 January, when he broke the fifth metatarsal in his correct foot while commending his late equalizer in a match against Manchester United. Although Van Persie was harmed for a substantial piece of the season despite everything he figured out how to complete as Arsenal's best goalscorer with 13 objectives in all rivalries.

"It was extraordinary, very unimaginable. No one expected that. At the point when Eboue crossed I didn't see anyone in the crate so it thought, in the same way as other circumstances, we have no one in there. At that point all of a sudden Van Persie arrives.

"In fact it was flawless, with full pace and power. I felt the ball would go over the bar toward the begin, at that point it completed in the best corner. It is the objective of a lifetime."

"Soon after the occurrence, I held up a bit to perceive how he reacted to it. That is football - on the off chance that I had substituted him, individuals would have said yes I made the best choice, on the off chance that he got sent off after individuals would have said I was moronic. That shows as a chief you require fortunes too on the grounds that I kept him on and he scored two objectives."

"Hasselbaink made somewhat a greater amount of it. He is an exceptionally shrewd player."

"He has developed. He has the ability and when you can acclimate to the correct state of mind then you can turn into an incredible player. Yet, first you require the ability. He has that and the mentality you can chip away at. He is showing signs of improvement and better.

"He can score objectives. He has that brisk unconstrained development that reveals to you that there is class in there. Indeed, even finished the principal objective, he didn't take much time. It was control and after that it was in the net. When you have that you have opportunity to be a decent player."

"Charlton contended energetically. When you leave after a Champions League diversion and are 1-0 down, you require some quality to win. It was an engaging diversion. We could have completed it off a couple of times, however Charlton could likewise have returned with a couple of minutes to go and they had the header from [Jimmy-Floyd] Hasselbaink. When I saw it was him, I thought it was 2-2. He missed it, fortunately for us."

"It looked offside yet, on the replay, they reveal to me that it was most certainly not. Perhaps it was Kolo [who played him onside]. The linesman revealed to me that Hoyte secured him yet I said it is unimaginable. He played on the flank of Hasselbaink and Hasselbaink was on the front of him."

"I had a choice to make on whether to play two harmed players. One we expected to infuse to play - Djourou - and was a little bet. So I figured a player with experience could adapt to it superior to a more youthful one."

"We have discovered the force. We have won twice far from home - Charlton and Manchester United - and two Champions League recreations. So it is five amusements on the run, however the negative thing is the intrusion now [for worldwide duty].

"At the point when the players return, they don't have an indistinguishable spotlight on the club from they did before they go. The second lament is that the Champions League coordinate [in Moscow] comes straight after the universal week."
