Once again, Bacary showed just why he is regarded as one of the best right backs in the world with another consistent season in 2010/11. We were even treated to that rarest of things - a ‘Bac’ goal… twice.

For the fourth consecutive season since joining the Club, Bacary racked up 40-plus appearances and made telling contributions at both ends of the pitch.

His thunderous drive against Everton in November was the first time the defender had found the net since March 2008 but he wasn’t finished there. Another thumping effort, this time against Leeds in the FA Cup, doubled his tally for the season while a pin-point cross for Robin van Persie at Newcastle demonstrated his ever-improving delivery from the flank.

One of the first names on Arsène Wenger’s team sheet, expect nothing less than the same high standards Sagna has set himself next season.

SOUNDBITE

"I just wanted to give everything this season and play better than I did in the two previous seasons. I was not playing well and I think some people were disappointed. I was disappointed. I just wanted to bounce back and get to my best."

FINEST MOMENT

Sagna scored his second spectacular goal of the season to double Arsenal’s lead against Leeds in an FA Cup Third-Round replay at Elland Road. Andy O’Brien’s clearance fell straight to him on the right of the penalty area and he fired a unstoppable drive into the far corner of the net.
