Arsène Wenger, whose club had sold him to Birmingham four years earlier, called Larsson maybe the best free-kick taker in the league after he curled one past Arsenal at the Emirates on 16 October 2011. Eleven direct free kicks for Birmingham and Sunderland, the 2011 League Cup won against Arsenal at Wembley, the 2018 Allsvenskan with AIK, and 133 caps for Sweden through four European Championships and a World Cup quarter-final. Career record: 133 caps and 10 goals for Sweden; club career at Birmingham City, Hull City A.F.C., AIK Fotboll.
