MY FAVOURITE GAMES: ASHLEY COLE
00:32 Chelsea, News 0 nhận xét Duong
It is a domestic double for the England left-back favourites, with a pick each for either end of his playing career...
Favourite game played:
Cole remembers a happy occasion at Stamford Bridge in the not too distant past as his favourite game played, when the Blues rounded off a Premier League-winning campaign with a truly emphatic thumping of Wigan.
When we hosted Roberto Martinez's side for our final league fixture of the 2009/10 campaign, the club needed a win to secure the title.
Against a side with nothing to play for, Chelsea systematically annihilated the visiting side, eventually scoring a phenomenal eight goals without reply.
Cole himself scored the final goal in the game, half-volleying a Joe Cole chip hard beneath the goalkeeper. He added to earlier strikes from Frank Lampard,Salomon Kalou, as well as a Nicolas Anelka brace and Didier Drogba hat-trick.
'I'd have to say the last league game of the 2009/10 season, winning 8-0 against Wigan to win the League was special,' said Cole.
'I scored as well which made it even more memorable for me. What a way to finish the season.'
Favourite game watched:
Cole was still a youngster awaiting his Arsenal debut when he saw the match he now considers his favourite.
The game took place at Wembley in 1998, when his former club lined-up against Newcastle in the FA Cup Final. Cole was still a youth team player for the Gunners, but was in the stands as the game began.
Cole watched as another former Arsenal player, who also dons the blue shirt of Chelsea these days, found the net in the Gunner's eventual 2-0 win.
Nicolas Anelka scored the decisive second goal of the game after beautifully controlling a Ray Parlour ball before drilling into the net. Marc Overmars had already opened the scoring, poking home an Emmanuel Petit through ball.
'My favourite game watched was Arsenal winning against Newcastle in the FA Cup Final in 1998,' said Cole.
'Nicolas Anelka played for Arsenal and scored, it was 2-0.
'I was at Wembley, I was one of the Arsenal youth team players and it was a great day, the first time I'd been to Wembley and it was a really hot day, and Arsenal won so it was a good day all round back then.'
