維岡在溫格眼中是和上一輪的謝聯完全不同的挑戰，
畢竟這是英超隊，而且布魯斯又派上了大部分主力。

「確實是不同的挑戰，但現在你知道了他們(阿森納年輕球員)可以有同樣的發揮……」
溫格這話也可以用來形容個別球員，墨西哥前鋒卡洛斯-貝拉證明，
無論是英冠球隊還是英超對手，他可以做到“通吃”。

《天空體育》報導本場比賽的大標題沒提打進兩球的辛普森，
而是“維岡抵擋不住熱得發燙的貝拉”，
文中稱：卡洛斯-貝拉是阿森納大捷的主導(architect)，他助攻辛普森得分，
又打進了當晚的最佳進球。
《英國通訊社》則稱：貝拉給客隊的防線製造了各種各樣的麻煩……

貝拉本場可謂慢熱，第13分鐘他錯過了拉姆塞製造的單刀，但隨後越踢越有感覺。
第16分鐘，貝拉的精妙傳球令吉布斯獲得小角度一對一射門機會，可惜被撲出；
第23分鐘，墨西哥人在禁區弧處左腳弧線射門，迫使科克蘭德飛身撲救；
而拉姆塞的任意球險些破門，突破被犯規的也是貝拉。

最精彩的表現在下半時到來，第67分鐘，阿森納打反擊，
貝拉接到過頂傳球在左路高速突破，他靈巧的甩掉了後衛，
下底後傳給門前無人防守的辛普森，後者輕鬆推射得分。
這個球貝拉從中圈啟動，幾乎甩掉了整條防線的追擊，他的速度令人印象深刻。

《天空體育》形容的“當晚最佳進球”在第72分鐘出現。
久若直傳，貝拉在同等機會下用速度搶到身位元，第一下趟球直指空檔，
隨後在和後衛的賽跑中，他略微領先，面對出擊的科克蘭德，貝拉冷靜的倒地搓射，
吊出一道弧線越過門將頭頂入網。

英國通訊社描述此球是一次“超級吊射”，
難得的是，貝拉是在高速奔跑而且和後衛有對抗的情況下選擇搓射的，
他射門腳法運用顯現了難得的冷靜和沉著。
這個球一進，看臺上的阿德巴約等主力情不自禁的起立鼓掌，
不久後酋長球場甚至掀起了人浪。

本場後，貝拉維持著一個百分之百的記錄，本賽季他只要首發就有進球和出色表現。
聯賽杯對謝聯，他上演帽子戲法，其中一記精巧的挑射令人拍案叫絕，
對維岡，他再次發揮神勇，“給點陽光就燦爛無比”。
相比之下，貝拉在聯賽和歐冠中的機會不多，他在這兩項賽事中8次出場全部是替補，
加起來只有120分鐘。

對於貝拉，溫格從不掩飾他的喜愛，本場前他盛讚墨西哥人的天賦，
稱他可以成為世界級前鋒。
溫格表示：「他有著天生的才華，動作速率快、聰明、有很好的技術，
現在你他需要再提高的是對抗性和決心，一旦他補上這兩點，
將很快成為一個世界級的前鋒。」

Vela too hot for Wigan

http://www.skysports.com/football/match_report/0,19764,11065_3072311,00.html

Carlos Vela was the architect as Arsenal booked their place in the Carling Cup
quarter-finals with victory over Wigan.

The gifted Mexican youngster scored a sublime third goal as Arsene Wenger's
youngsters proved too good for an experienced Latics side.
Chris Kirkland produced a string of outstanding saves in the first half before
finally being beaten as Jay Simpson stabbed home after Jack Wilshere's through
ball.

Vela then left Emmerson Boyce in a heap as he broke down the left before
rolling the ball across the box for Simpson to help himself to a second in the
66th minute.
And Vela then scored the goal of the night as he raced onto Johan Djourou's
pass and chipped Kirkland from the edge of the box, before Lukasz Fabianski
produced an astonishing double save to deny Daniel de Ridder and Amr Zaki.

Potency

The attacking potency of Wenger's youngsters had been evident as early as the
12th minute when Vela burst through the Wigan defence.
He attempted to round Kirkland in the Wigan goal but the keeper managed to get
a hand to the ball and divert it to safety.

But Wigan's inability to clear their lines only served up another chance for
the Gunners and this time Simpson rattled the crossbar with a ferocious effort.
Arsenal were now beginning to pick holes in the Wigan defence at will and when
Vela set-up Kieran Gibbs in the 17th minute, it required another stunning save
from Kirkland to keep the scores level.

But Wigan hit back and Arsenal had Fabianski to thank for denying De Ridder
with a fine save.
Vela was causing all kinds of problems for the visiting defence and in the
20th minute he won a free-kick when Bramble sent him tumbling 25 yards out.

Wigan almost paid a costly price for the foul as Aaron Ramsey's free-kick was
only just kept out by a superb one-handed stop from Kirkland.
Seconds later Kirkland repeated the feat to keep out a long-range Vela effort
that was destined for the top corner.

The impressive striker had attempted to curl the ball into the corner but
Kirkland somehow managed to get his fingertips to it.
However, Wigan still had their moments and Zaki was again unable to direct his
header on target when De Ridder had managed to engineer some space on the right
flank to send over a dangerous cross.

But Arsenal continue to pile forward and Maynor Figueroa had to time his
tackle well to prevent Simpson from moving in on goal in the 35th minute.

A corner by Wilshere moments later presented Djourou with a chance to open the
scoring but the ball would just not come down quick enough for the defender to
get his shot away and Wigan cleared the danger.

Beaten

In the 39th minute Arsenal's Fran Merida cut in from the left wing and sent a
low drive heading towards goal only for the ball to take a deflection and spin
just wide.

Arsenal's Mark Randall was penalised for a foul on De Ridder in the 41st minute
but Fabianski dealt comfortably with the subsequent free-kick.
But Kirkland's heroics counted for nothing when he was finally beaten a minute
later.

It was a typically clever Arsenal move as Simpson latched on to a superb
through-ball from Wilshere and poked the ball beyond the keeper despite a late
lunge from Mario Melchiot.

Wigan began the second half far brighter and Zaki should have done better from
the edge of the penalty area in the 51st minute but his shot was dealt with
easily by Fabianski.

But Arsenal responded quickly with Simpson heading a cross from Merida just
over the crossbar. In the 57th minute Merida forced Kirkland into another fine
save with a low 20-yard drive that swerved all the way.

A minute later Wigan boss Steve Bruce replaced midfielder Jason Koumas with
striker Henri Camara.
In the 62nd minute Arsenal almost went 2-0 up when a wonderful piece of skill
from Ramsey set up Gibbs who sped into the penalty area and unleashed an
angled drive that Kirkland saved with his feet.

Mexican Vela also went close a minute later when his drive rose just too high
to trouble Kirkland. But in the 67th minute, a stunning counter attack
brought Arsenal their second. Vela ran the length of the Wigan half, leaving
Boyce trailing in his wake, before crossing for Simpson to apply a simple
finish.

The Mexican made it three for Arsenal in the 70th minute when he produced a
superb chip over Kirkland from 18 yards to finish another wonderful night for
the young Gunners.

Wigan's night was made more miserable two minutes from time when they were
robbed of a consolation goal by a fantastic double save from Fabianski to deny
De Ridder and then Zaki.
