19 years ago today, Emmanuel Adebayor had to be escorted off the pitch, as a really young Arsenal team lost 2-1 to Chelsea in the League Cup Final in arguably the most heated game between the two clubs.
Arsenal were the better team for most of the game with Theo Walcott scoring his first ever Arsenal goal to give them the lead. Despite this, Chelsea’s experience came out on top.
John Terry was knocked unconscious.
John Obi Mikel was sent off for Chelsea, while Kolo Touré & Emmanuel Adebayor were both sent off for Arsenal. However, Didier Drogba
& Arsenal physio Gary Lewin had to escort Adebayor off the pitch.
🗣️Commentator: “He’s braking with his head. Soccer boots studs couldn’t balance him, nothing could balance him except the head”
Bro should be looking for the commentators after the game😭
"Babe, I know you're annoyed at me, but can I go to the match?"
"No, you're not going, and that's final."
"Alright, I'll take the dog for a walk then."
