Diaby’s deflected goal puts Arsenal in third spot

ARSENAL put their treble cup heartbreak behind them to climb into the top three of the Barclays Premiership – with a fortuitous goal from Abou Diaby sinking Martin O’Neill’s side.

Diaby, whose only other goal for the Gunners was against Villa at Highbury last season, inadvertently deflected a mishit shot from Julio Baptista past Thomas Sorensen after 10 minutes.

It enabled the visitors move ahead of Liverpool in the battle to claim a Champions League spot.
