    <span class="titolo">Gallas: My Winning Goal Was A Stroke Of Luck</span></p>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p>

    <span class="sommario">Arsenal defender William Gallas refused to hail his matchwinning goal against Chelsea as anything approaching a master-strike, but he's no less happy with it for that...</span></p>

    Former Chelsea stopper William Gallas (pictured) returned to haunt his former club at the Emirates as he popped up to score the winning goal in a close-fought encounter.

    After the match, the French international told Sky Sports that luck played its part in what was a vital goal for his side.

    "I was really surprised to see the ball come onto my head but sometimes you have to be lucky," he smiled.

    "Today I was a little bit lucky as Petr [Cech] is usually a good, good goalkeeper."

    It was Cech's missed interception that gave Gallas the chance to score and, even though the 30-year-old is more than pleased with the goal, he's more excited about the result.

    "It is more important to win and I feel the boys did need to win today against a good team," he continued.

    "Everybody knows Chelsea are very strong.

    "We know we now have six points [more than Chelsea] and that is very important."

    Arsenal are one point ahead of Manchester United at the top of the league.</div></p>

    It wasn't luck. It was one of the worst Goalkeeping errors this season. Close to Lehmann's lol.</p>

    But we beat Chelski anyway so Yay.</p>
