Picture an Arjen Robben goal.

Robben collects the ball on the right side of the pitch, dribbles towards a defender, drops his shoulder, cuts onto his left foot and curls it into the net, right? Well, the Bayern Munich winger did it again tonight. Robben scored the opening goal of Munich's Champions League last 16 first leg tie against Arsenal, and it was a stunning effort. However, despite the Dutchman's brilliance, Francis Coquelin should probably get an assist for his role. Yes, Robben is difficult to stop, and you know what he's going to do more often than not, but don't make it this easy. Here's Coquelin's position and here's Robben on the ball... If Coquelin can just stop Robben from moving into the space on the player's left, everything should be fine, as every Arsenal outfield player is within 20 yards of the Dutchman... Remember, Coquelin, don't let him onto his left foot... No, we said DON'T let him onto his left foot... Never mind... Many on social media noticed Coquelin's error. https://twitter.com/sportsjoe_uk/status/831956048890171392 https://twitter.com/NickMiller79/status/831955543333994504 https://twitter.com/EoinMcDevitt/status/831955623411646467 https://twitter.com/harrydecosemo/status/831955828034961417 https://twitter.com/davidpreece12/status/831956060994994189 https://twitter.com/LiamPaulCanning/status/831956227974373377 https://twitter.com/danielstorey85/status/831955802823000066 https://twitter.com/OliverKayTimes/status/831955365076074496 https://twitter.com/kenearlys/status/831955783856357378 https://twitter.com/GeoffArsenal/status/831955800130191360 https://twitter.com/DTguardian/status/831955790701408256 https://twitter.com/dkirklambert/status/831957165615284230 https://twitter.com/dubsoulrebel/status/831955523482353669 Catch up with this week's episode of 888sport Football Friday Live
