Arsenal: 20 Greatest Goals Of Last 20 Years

1. Thierry Henry vs. Tottenham November 16, 2oo2

Skill: 5- Once again this might deserve more than 5 points but I will do my best to hold back. I mean just the audacity to drive forward like this is unthinkable. What’s he even doing that deep in his own half anyway? The shot fake froze both goalkeeper Kasey Keller and defender Stephen Carr dead in their tracks. Run:Unstoppable. Finish:Effortless. Goal:Legendary.

Opponent: 5- Putting Spurs in their place. An Arsenal tradition.

Significance: 5- A resounding win for the Gunners in a North London derby after winning the double just one season prior would have been enough for lofty significance. However, when you consider the fact that Arsenal went on to retain the FA Cup in 2002-03, and then go undefeated in 2003-04, its hard to argue that this was the best run of any Gunners team. This goal symbolizes a team at their best, with a star player in his prime. Also, the celebration. I mean come on.
