Arsenal: 20 Greatest Goals Of Last 20 Years

5. Marc Overmars vs United March 14 1998

Skill: 3- Another goal that exemplified the qualities of Arsenal’s revolutionary attacking style. It’s interesting to note that many of the goals by Arsenal from this era begin with long balls over the top, especially diagonal balls that switch the field of play. Overmars’ ability to the head the ball down in front of him and then maintain the composure necessary to slot pass the keeper is pure class.

Opponent: 5- Beating United just never gets old.

Significance: 5- At this point in the season United were nine points clear of the Gunners at the top of the table. Although the North Londoners had three games in hand, there was still plenty to do in order to claim a title. This goal from Overmars lives long in the minds of Gooners everywhere. It ignited the title push and helped Arsene Wenger claim his first Premier League trophy.
