Eduardo is back, with a bang

.
Eduardo da Silva made an emotional return to club action after almost a year, scoring twice to help Arsenal beat Cardiff City 4-0 in their FA Cup fourth round replay at The Emirates on Monday.

The Croatia striker was playing his first match for Arsenal since suffering a horrific ankle injury and he marked it by heading the first goal after 20 minutes and scoring the third with a 60th-minute penalty.

Nicklas Bendtner and substitute Robin van Persie were also on target and only an outstanding display by goalkeeper Tom Heaton prevented Arsenal running riot.
