He followed that up by converting a vital penalty in extra time of the final second leg against CD Mirandes, ensuring Oviedo&rsquo;s return to La Liga.<\/p><p>Despite being in the twilight of his career, Cazorla&rsquo;s contribution remains significant for his boyhood club.

The two-time European champion with Spain spent six seasons at Arsenal, making 180 appearances and becoming a fan favorite at the Emirates.

Doctors warned him he might never walk properly again, let alone play football at the highest level.<\/p><p>However, Cazorla defied the odds and returned to professional football with Villarreal before extending his career further in Qatar with Al Sadd.
