Bergkamp does it again

Dennis Bergkamp scored the lone goal of the match, as Arsenal beat Turkish champions Besiktas 1-0 in Bad Waltersdorf, Austria on Tuesday night. In the forty-eighth minute, after a scoreless first half in which new Arsenal keeper Jens Lehmann went virutally untested, French trialist Gael Clichy sent a pass into the box for a waiting Freddie Ljungberg. Freddie worked to create some space, then set up Bergkamp for the goal. This was Dennis’s second goal in as many pre-season games. Let’s hope this is a preview of what’s to come this year from the non-flying Dutchman. I also like the fact that Freddie was waiting in the box for the pass. It reminds me of the latter part of the 2001-2002 season, and we all know how that ended up; don’t we?
