May 26th 1989, was in the words of the legendary commentator Brian Moore, "a night of chilling simplicty". Arsenal had to win at Anfield, the fortress home of the reigning champions Liverpool, for the first time in over a decade and they had to win by 2 clear goals, something no one had done there for 3 years, all this and they would be champions for the first time since 1971. Anything else and the trophy would stay at Anfield.

What happened that night will go down in Arsenal history as their greatest result. After a nervy first half, Arsenal scored through Alan Smith early in the second half, but were unable to find a way through the Liverpool team who were quite happy to lose 1-0. Then with 1 minute on the clock at the end of time added on.....it happened.

"A good ball, by Dixon, finding Smith, for Thomas, charging through the midfield, Thomas, IT'S UP FOR GRABS NOW".

Things were never the same again after that for both clubs. It ws the start of a succesful time for Arsenal and althought Liverpool won the league a year later, it was the end of the dominant force in English football.

EXTRAS. This dvd includes the full 90 minute match, plus highlights of the game with contribution from the players, like Michael Thomas and Alan Smith, plus highlights and stats from the 1988/89 season.
