Great moment from Arsenal's Pre-Season Friendly against AZ Alkmaar at Stadionweg, Alkmaar, Holland, on August 4, 2006. In this thrilling match from the previous football season, Arsenal emerged victorious with a convincing 3-0 scoreline. The Gunners started the game with great intensity and determination, and their superior play was evident from the early stages. Thierry Henry opened the scoring with a cool finish after some intricate passing moves, putting Arsenal in the driver's seat. The second goal came from a set-piece, as Robert Pires curled a beautiful free-kick into the box, finding the head of Sol Campbell who powered it home. The crowd went wild as Arsenal took a commanding 2-0 lead. AZ Alkmaar pushed forward in the second half, looking for a way back into the game, but the Arsenal defense held firm. The third goal came in the dying minutes, as a quick counter-attack saw Freddie Ljungberg play in Henry, who rounded the keeper and slotted the ball into an empty net. The final whistle blew, and Arsenal celebrated a well-deserved victory. This result boosted their confidence ahead of the new season, and they went on to have a successful campaign, finishing runners-up in the Premier League. This photo captures the excitement and tension of the match, with Arsenal players celebrating their victory and AZ Alkmaar players looking on in disappointment. It's a great reminder of an entertaining pre-season friendly that set the tone for an exciting season ahead.
