After six years without glory Arsenal again failed to bring a trophy to home, Arsenal dominates the the game from the start but they failed to convert half chances to goals. And also due to some extra ordinary saves by Ben Foster all of the Arsenal's attempts to score second goal were ruined.Birmingham City striker Nikola Zigic headed Birmingham in front on the 28 minutes, but Robin Van Persie equalized the score with a fine volley.
It was Arsenal who dominated the second half and played a very calculated football but all of their efforts were saved by blues goal keeper Ben Foster. And in the last minute of the second half a mistake by reds defender and goalkeeper was very well cashed by on loan striker Martins which gives blues the glory they deserved.
Once again Arsenal's two main players captain Cesc Fabregas and Theo Walcott failed to play their part in massive final due to injuries. No doubt Arsenal has played a very good football this season they have dominated the game against almost every team but the gaps are still there. Despite announcing huge profits this season they didn't buy a much needed experienced goalkeeper which hurts the Arsenal throughout the season and they are still feeling the pressure.
Now all eyes are on their second leg in Champions league against Barcelona, they are leading with 2-1 lead on aggregate, but will they able to produce their Emirates form at Barcelona after loosing Carling cup final...
