Lichaj heads in Dowell's free kick near-post to put Forest up 1-0! Goal for Forest! (Lichaj 20') #NFFC 1-0 Arsenal pic.twitter.com/blv6a9VdBg— Nottingham Forest (@NFFC) January 7, 2018
Sweet finish from Eric. Pretty ballsy, too. That had concussion written all over it if Ospina tried to punch. I don't think Ospina even saw him flash across him. Luckily for Eric he reacted and beat Ospina to the spot to head it home.
Here's another with English commentary: Upset alert? #USMNT international Eric Lichaj heads Nottingham Forest in front vs Arsenal. https://t.co/viXWisANDn— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) January 7, 2018
Holy shit! What a finish! Simply brilliant! So sweet. It would have been easy to absolutely tattoo that ball coming off his chest like most players, instead he calmly and so eloquently hit it with the outside of his boot with placement.
He's just made two very nice stops on the defensive end, drawing praise from the announcers for how well he's done his "day job" in this match, along with the two goals.
3-1. PK. Lichaj not involved. Every time I watch Arsenal, I'm relieved I'm not an ardent supporter. They do so many inconsequential things well, but still seem to monk things up when it counts.
Congrats to Eric. I think USSoccer/Bob/Jurgen/Bruce missed the boat in his case. (My unscientific take, for sure.)
Man, I skipped this just 'cause I hate Arse in general. See, the nice people are right: hate does make you miss life's joys. Like watching Lichja beat the team you hate!
