Bendtner and Merida, Arsenal win Liverpool

Arsenal play against Liverpool in Carling Cup on Emirates.
It was 1-1 half time and the “Baby-Gunners” find the decisive goal at 50 ‘. After a nice maneuver orchestrated by Merida and Ramsey, the Danish Nicklas Bendtner scored under the crossbar to give Arsenal a 2-1 victory over Liverpool.

Nicklas to World Cup

A Nicklas Bendtner inspired Denmark side over came Sweden in a battle of Scandinavia to claim the final three World Cup qualifying points they needed to reach next summers tournament, with bragging rights for the natives to boot.
The hosts pushed harder for the goal in the second half via Dennis Rommedahl’s powerful effort, before Rommedahl combined with Bendtner to allow the Arsenal striker a shot at goal, but Isaksson was again on hand. Sweden thought they’d done enough when Henrik Larsson clipped home but the offside flag ruled out any hope of a shock winner. Nicklas’ former Birmingham team mate Seb Larsson came on with 25 minutes left and he would needed shortly after as the Danes finally broke the deadlock.
Bendtner’s clever run down the left created space, and then a perfectly weighted ball picked out Jakob Poulsen who made no mistake with an excellent finish. Sorensen made two superb saves late on but Denmark held on to take all three points and secure their place in next summers World Cup. The stage has been set for Bendtner to shine.
