Considered by many to be the most dramatic conclusion to a league season in English football history, this final-day showdown at Anfield required Arsenal to win by two clear goals to snatch the First Division title away from reigning leaders Liverpool.

After a tense, goalless first half, Alan Smith headed Arsenal into the lead. With time running out in the 92nd minute, midfielder Michael Thomas burst through the Liverpool defence and prodded the ball into the net to make it 2–0. Thomas’ goal as the most vital of strikes, giving Liverpool the title on goals scored in the most dramatic of fashions.
