Rosický scores in first game for Arsenal since January 2008

The Czech football captain Tomáš Rosický scored a goal for Arsenal on Saturday in his first game for the club since January last year. Rosický came on as a substitute in the second half of a Premier League match away to Manchester City, scoring a consolation goal to make it 4:2 when the hosts were already leading 4:1 with around ten minutes to go. The Czech midfielder, who turns 29 next month, was out of football for a year and a half with a knee injury he said he feared could end his career.
