Almost a year ago, after Eduardo broke his leg while playing against Birmingham, I wrote in this blog:
"I really hope that he can still play football after this setback, but I'm not feeling optimistic."
Happily, it looks as if I was way too pessimistic (sorry).
Eduardo announced his return to football in some style on Monday night, by netting a brace against Cardiff City at the Emirates.
Nicklas Bendtner and Robin Van Persie also scored for Arsenal, and if it wasn't for the heroics of goalkeeper Tom Heaton, Cardiff would have suffered more than the 4-0 trouncing from the Gunners.
But the night was made for Eduardo Alves da Silva - indeed, for the first time in months, Arsenal looked like...well, Arsenal. Obviously well pleased with the result, doubly pleased for Eduardo (and judging by his hugs with the Arsenal medical staff, hats off to them as well).
One just couldn't have scripted a better comeback for the lad than Monday night...
Arsenal 4-0 Cardiff
