Van Persie scores goal No 100: The prolific Dutchman becomes only the 17th player in Arsenal history to reach a century of goals for the Club with his second strike against Bolton Wanderers at Emirates Stadium. Stuart says: "As a photographer you don't like to miss big pictures like this. I didn't even think about it before the game that he would get to 100 and then he scored. You do miss goals from time to time or they don't always sit right for you - you could get somebody blocking your way for example. It was just a really good moment and poignant part of the season for him. I was just lucky enough to get that all in one frame."

Flying high: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is shot mid-flight before training at London Colney. Stuart says: "He came out early for training and the path you see there is the one that leads up to the pitches. He saw me - he does pose a little bit - and he jumped about five or six times. Just as he finished his last jump I could hear laughter behind - the manager was standing right behind me! He was absolutely cracking up, he thought it was hilarious. Those concrete roads are so dangerous if he had slipped, I was hoping the boss didn't see it but he was so funny about it."
