Arsene Wenger said before this international game between Togo and Cameroon that he would not object to Togo’s captain, Emmanuel Adebayor, playing.
And how grateful the Togo national team must be as the Arsenal striker, returning after a six week absence from action due to a hamstring injury, scored as early as the 11th minute.
He took advantage of a slip by Reading defender Andrew Bikey and slid the ball past Cameroon’s goalkeeper Kameni.
The African Footballer of the Year went on to complete the 90 minutes in Accra but blotted his copybook by missing a second-half penalty given away by Newcastle’s Geremi.
The match was played in neighbouring Ghana because Togo are banned from using their home stadium after rioting two years ago.
Arsenal’s Song did not start the game.
Togo: Obilalé Kodjovi - Daré Nibombe, Richmond Forson, Gaffar Mamah, Amewou Komlan - Alaixys Romao, Ayité Floyd, Moustapha Salifou, Cheriff Touré - Dossevi Thomas - Sheyi Emmanuel Adebayor
Cameroon: Idriss Carlos Kameni - Bahanag Rigobert Song, Geremi Njitap Sorel, Benoit Assou Ekotto, André Bikey - Jean II Makoun, Stéphane Mbia, Mbam Mbam Modeste, Somen A Tchoyi - Samuel Eto'o Fils, Achille Webo

Lets hope he gets injured again so he doesn't disrupt Arsenal's progress. An overrated, over-inflated, offside waste of time.
You two arseholes should just get over yourselves. It's great news that one of our strikers is back in goal scoring form so he can help us in the run in. That is more important to me than your personal dislike of him.
Sometimes i feel ashamed to call myself an Arsenal fan....
"bikey slip" !!!!!!!!!!
LOLLLL
ade fouls him..hes clearly pulling his hand back!! lol
still good work ade
why is aebayor number 4?
That was a blatant foul. Adebayor just pulled Bikey to the ground.
Ade is number 4 because that is the number Kanu wore for the nigerian national team. That's why he is no. 25 at Arsenal too.
Ade is a good player - whats the point in hating - Wenger chooses who to play - and his judgement has led us to the best period in Arsenal's history.
