European King of Comebacks

The European King of Comebacks!

Liverpool came from behind to beat Arsenal 2–1, earning unanimous praise from the European media.

With Head Coach Benitez absent due to surgery and midfield lynchpin Mascherano sidelined by a cold, Liverpool had also been facing Arsenal away from home in a clash between two powerhouses. Yet despite all those disadvantages, they still fought their way through.

So far this season, Liverpool had already produced numerous comebacks, truly deserving to be called the European King of Comebacks.

After the match, Sky Sports was the first to publish its comments, crediting Yang Yang's brace with helping Liverpool come from behind against Arsenal.

"With the Head Coach absent and the defense looking shaky, Yang Yang stepped up at the crucial moment. With a brilliant brace, he led Liverpool to a 2–1 comeback victory over Arsenal away from home."

"This was about more than just three points. More importantly, it was Yang Yang's first brace during the Christmas Fixture Congestion since joining the Premier League three years ago. Judging from his performance in this match, he was in outstanding form."

Sky Sports believed that Yang Yang's brace against Arsenal had helped him overcome yet another hurdle in his career.

"For the past two years, the Christmas and winter-break schedule had been Yang Yang's nightmare. Every year-end and winter, his performances would slump, and he even suffered prolonged goal droughts for a time. But this time, he looked fully prepared."

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray also said that Yang Yang appeared to have emerged from the shadow of the Christmas Fixture Congestion.

"His brace in this match not only helped Liverpool claim three precious points, but also showed us the true ability of a superstar. Overcoming this obstacle will provide a huge boost to his overall confidence and ability."
