Watch: Arsenal’s Park Chu-Young Goal vs Kuwait

Arsenal's new signing, Park Chu-Young scored his 21st goal for South Korea in the countries 1 - 1 draw at Kuwait in Asia's 2014 World Cup qualification group stage.

Korea sit top of Group B thanks to a total of four goals from the new Arsenal striker, formally of Monaco, with the video below showing his well taken latest.

Due to South Korea's military service requirement, Park will have to leave Arsenal in two years time for national service, so the Gunners will have to make the most out of the goalscoring striker in the next two seasons he has at the club, starting perhaps with Swansea on Saturday:


Meanwhile, Arsenal's recently loaned out striker, Nicklas Bendtner scored two goals for his nation, Denmark against Norway in their Euro 2012 qualification group H.

Watch: Wales 0 - 2 England

England played impressively on away soil at the Millenium Stadium today, with two early goals separating the two sides. The three lions proved too much for the one dragon as England breezed to victory without any real problems at the back whilst performing very well in the midfield and out wide. 
Watch the Goals below:




Scotland 2-3 Spain | Villa Goal


This was the first goal in a game that Spain won 2 - 3 againt Scotland. Spain went two goals ahead, but a Scotland fightback in the second half meant that the European and World Champions had to grab the winner to avoid an embarrassment.

Fernando Llorente's late winner broke Scottish hearts, and hopes for a historical win to give Spain a 3 - 2 wining their Euro 2012 qualifier at Hampden Park.
The Scottish goalkeeper Allan McGregor was the man of the match with a string of fine saves to deny Spain an easy win, but goals from Villa, Iniesta and Llorente cancelled out goals for Scotland from Steven Naismith and an own goal from Gerard Pique.

A thrilling game in which Spain came out on top, sadly for the heart-broken Scots.

England 0 - 0 Montenegro

Steven Gerrard Steven Gerrard of England shows his frustration during the UEFA EURO 2012 Group G Qualifying match between England and Montenegro at Wembley Stadium on October 12, 2010 in London, England.
Whenever England got the ball, all they saw was a sea of red shirts, gathering swiftly around them, reducing the options of attack and taking away any chance of a goal. Montenegro clearly didn't come to England with the objective to score a couple of goals - their 4-5-1 formation clearly demonstrating that fact, and the all-talk build up from certain Montenegro players who claimed that they were "super-confident" that they could beat the English at Wembley hardly looked like coming true.

It proved to be a tough test for England to break down the Montenegro defence, as the visiting team hardly ventured out from their own half - but a test that the England fans certainly expected their team to pass, with the boos at the end of the game, expressing that.

It was a reasonably good start to the game for England, having 70% of possession, and Crouch coming close twice thanks to a beautiful through ball from Gerrard, and a good cross by Adam Johnson. In the middle of the game, the good start fizzled out, and England became sloppy, and lost any cutting edge that they may have had at the start.

The second half was similar to the first, but England retained their sharpness (the blunt form of sharp) and had a good spell of pressure near the end - as they should have won a penalty through Ashley Young, and then a blatant hand ball from a Montenegro defender, which only the referee missed.

It was not a good England performance, but it wasn't a bad one - it was a frustrating one. A performance that England fans are becoming used to witnessing - if they haven't already.

Kevin Davies Kevin Davies of England comes on for Peter Crouch of England during the UEFA EURO 2012 Group G Qualifying match between England and Montenegro at Wembley Stadium on October 12, 2010 in London, England.In a rare chance for Montenegro which had Joe Hart beaten, they hit the crossbar with a great half volley in the eight third minute, which could so have easily caused Capello to lose his job. Kevin Davies, the eldest English debutant for over fifty years, came on for Crouch a couple of minutes before that, and picked up a yellow card with one of his first actions. A good few headers and his general physicality helped to open up a few areas, but the half chances came to nothing.

At the end of the game, as Montenegro celebrated as if it was a win, the English players trudged off, wondering what they could do to win over their frustrated fans.
