This was the first time I saw Arsenal play football as a kid. I had just found interest in football and my uncle was a Liverpool fan so I just supported them. After 15 minutes of this game I switched my loyalties to Arsenal. I was amazed by how they moved the ball and how they approached the game. Been a Gooner since.
Me too! I was a michael owen fan so started off with supporting liverpool, one game later, I switched to arsenal in 2001 and its been arsenal ever since.
It was actually a monumental win for arsenal at the time cuz they had not scored a goal at anfield for 5 years before this game. It was always their boogie ground. Still is lmao.
Zakaria Rochdi unbelievable player. He was pure class and his passing range and finishing was just sublime. Loved watching him. He had a telepathic connection with Henry.
Ljungberg was massively underrated in football history. Freddie Ljungberg played football in an era where world class players were in abundance. If he is playing now, he would have been rated on par with the likes of Sterling, Hazard, Mane, etc. The kind of runs he made & finishing skills was the kind of runs and finishing Wenger wished Walcott would have emulated. Unfortunately Theo lacked the intelligence, technique, and composure to do so.
I'm a Liverpool fan, but, fair play to this Arsenal side, to play at Anfield with only 10 men for the majority of the game and win in this way is class.
@@TheLusianPopa Yeah but despite there obvious quality, they still had players who could mix it when it came to the physical side unlike now Known, Vieria, Parlour, Campbell those players loved to get stuck in.
Different fan base seats destroyed A lot of the atmosphere since Then standing needs to com back In certain parts of the emirates Now eventually I hope so 2021 Onwards so in Due time
The heartbeat was Adams & Vieira. They were the ones who instilled that toughness into the team. But all the other players were capable of taking the mantle when they weren't playing. Pretty much anyone on the bench (except Cygan) could slotted in seamlessly. The depth of that squad was superb.
mustafa arsenal From a positive reaction about Ashley Cole's clearance to a poisionous big bloke who wants to get personal. I feel for you. Should I get a doctor?
That was beautiful to behold. It's easy to forget JUST how resolute and strong Arsenal were during this period. With many technically gifted players but always with a mental toughness and character!! We in later years seemed to lose? Beautiful memories for Arsenal fans Thank you Arsene!
Kanu is a very underrated Arsenal Legend. Watch him on the ball, he almost never wasted a possession and always had a clever pass or through ball in his locker. I started supporting Arsenal just so i could watch what he did with the ball at his feet. Amazed me every time as a kid.
Remember watching this game. Arsenal outclassed us with 10 men, but I LOVE the squad we had at that time - Berger, Litmanen, Hyypia, McAllister, Owen, Murphy, Gerrard, Babbel ... happy days. Thanks for uploading 👍
This was the game that made me start supporting the Arsenal. Winning at Anfield with 10 men is almost unheard of in the prem era. When we saw out the game i knew we were going to be champions that season.
I always thought that Ljungberg was the player that Walcott should've mould himself to, not Henry. Ljungberg's clever run and no nonsense attitude combined with Walcott's speed would've devastated any opponents.
But Arsenal had both their PFA and FWA player of the year winners firing on all cylinders in this game, and their second goal probably showed why either deserved to win the accolades. Between their goals and assists, Arsenal's route to the double was fairly easy. Both routinely turned up in the biggest of games that season.
@Magare Evans I'm guessing that's your terrible excuse to why this Arsenal team never won back-to-back PL titles and never won the champions league? The reality is I recall they were favoured by officials often to the point it annoyed me so how do you explain that? That unbeaten run wouldn't have happened without decisions. Arsenal can't blame officials, they failed to win the 2002/03 title despite being given TWO offside goals in the SAME potential title decider vs ManUtd in April 2003 which finished 2-2 ManUtd scored 2 legitimate goals to Henry's 2 offside goals (his 2nd, absolutely horrendous decision). Arsenal were somehow still complaining about the officiating at the end of that game even?? And claimed that despite losing the title they were still the best team, so they weren't gracious either. Bad losers and underachievers.
@@cddb5408 Watch the game between United and arsenal in 2004 by winning which arsenal could have gone 50 games unbeaten.Absolutely shocking refereeing and u say that refs favoured arsenal
You know you're a good team when you go down to 10 men away from home take the lead and the home team takes off a striker and puts on a midfielder to cope with your ball players.
Big & massive win against Liverpool that season. I remember we had such a shit record against liverpool for 4/5 years couldn't beat them or score against them either weirdly.
I always remember saying to my boys lap up every minute of watching arsenal because nothing lasts for ever.we achieved so much with so many dodgy decisions by referees and the media hating ever giving us credit.
What character and confidence. Despite being down to 10 men, they were playing to win such was the quality and winning mentality. That's away at anfield. Brilliant.
It was so fun to watch Arsenal back then, love every man on the pitch. The play was mesmerizing and Ashley Cole as instrumental part of the attack up the left, lest we forget. It all unravelled with the youth project 😞
Thank you for the 25 min highlights of this game but what it doesn't show is that Kanu was man of the match after he dropped back into midfield when van Bronkhorst got sent off....Kanu and Ray Parlour owned Anfield that day. You don't even see either in 25 min highlights? REALLY?
What a Team!!! 10 Men at 0-0, No Veira, No Bergkemp, at Anfield and still get the win. Proppa Defence. Blistering fast attack. Where has our Arsenal gone today???
I was at that match, it was a bad journey home to London. I mean I don't think Arsenal were looking for revenge for the FAC defeat in May but they wanted something, I remember when Pires got away before he squared it, its a goal. GVB was harshly treated for the 2nd yellow as he did not appeal, he just got up.
Van B hard done by... then pires blatantly pushed over.. but then when arsenal win the penalty (In those days it was a straight red for the keeper.. disgraceful)... and we still won COYG.
It is absolutely insane how ref LITERALLY CELEBRATED giving the red card to Giovanni Van Bronkhorst. The FA, PGMOL both hate Arsenal and don’t even hide it.

A proper club wouldn't take the chance. We need to get him, Tierney and Malcolm locked in sharpish I reckon. In Edu we trust!
@Kaleem Akbar we got him bro
"Thank fuck"? These were the days football was still a mans game. Now it's full of fairies who care more about their hair than winning.

Smart choice
Can't believe we won at anfield with a player down
It was actually a monumental win for arsenal at the time cuz they had not scored a goal at anfield for 5 years before this game. It was always their boogie ground. Still is lmao.
Pires was unbelievable.
if the likes of pires, ljunberg, henry etc. come out of retirement and play for arsenal they would have a better chance to win the EPL.lol
Zakaria Rochdi unbelievable player. He was pure class and his passing range and finishing was just sublime. Loved watching him. He had a telepathic connection with Henry.

The swagger of this Arsenal team was crazy!
Arsenal were unbeaten away this season. Big Wengz then challenged his side to go a whole season unbeaten.
Showed you the impact Campbell made after his controversial move across London.
We only lost one game that season. At home to Newcastle
taf makumbe wrong. We lost 3 if I recall, all at home.
Dre You’re wrong mate we lost only to Newcastle at home.
taf makumbe check for yourself. We lost to Leeds (1-2), Charlton (2-4) and Newcastle (1-3) at home that season. That was it.
We beat Liverpool with 10 men at Anfield. Gunners 🔥🔥
lol twenty years ago. now youre shite

2021 Onwards so in Due time
I wish the current squad would watch this. A team fighting for each other. What a fabulous player Pires was. The heartbeat of that great side.
The heartbeat was Adams & Vieira. They were the ones who instilled that toughness into the team. But all the other players were capable of taking the mantle when they weren't playing. Pretty much anyone on the bench (except Cygan) could slotted in seamlessly. The depth of that squad was superb.
@@aabidamnGiles grimandi was another one, and oleg luznhy that always baffled me how he snuck in that squad 👀😅

Ray Parlour = what a guy - brings down two people with one tackle
"Question Here about Gerrard because Pires goes past him like he wasn't there" lol
Savage 😂😂😂
J.G.P Channel Yeah, and Pires is like 7 years older than Gerrard!! 😂
Well, wingers in general tend to have much better agility than central midfielders, haven't they.
Gerrard is nothing vs Pires 😅😅
@@bisdfff6276 deluded nonsense
Henry, Pires, Ljungberg, Parlour, Ashley Cole, Lauren, Kanu, Campbell, Keown, legends ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴❤️❤️❤️
Do not forget Adam & Vieira
Bergkamp,vieira,adam
Kanu is a very underrated Arsenal Legend. Watch him on the ball, he almost never wasted a possession and always had a clever pass or through ball in his locker. I started supporting Arsenal just so i could watch what he did with the ball at his feet. Amazed me every time as a kid.
One of the most technically gifted African players of All time

Hands down the game that won us the title.
Ljungberg was so underrated.
Ray Parlour was a machine - that tackle at 21.00
Henry's movement at 14:30 was just magnificent.
Honestly. He just drifted like he was part of the air.
Pires made a show of Gerrard for that second goal. Brilliant play.
Respect to Arsenal for the football they played. Like a flowing river at times and they could mix it up too.
This was the game that made me start supporting the Arsenal. Winning at Anfield with 10 men is almost unheard of in the prem era. When we saw out the game i knew we were going to be champions that season.
Man how i wish got that arsenal jersey with the SEGA logo 👌
I don't get why they don't re-release that kit as a retro shirt. Would sell out so fast.
This was the catalyst for arsenals double winning side brilliant season #Champions
There is only one Pires
I wish I was able to see Arsenal’s greatest generation 😔..
I always thought that Ljungberg was the player that Walcott should've mould himself to, not Henry. Ljungberg's clever run and no nonsense attitude combined with Walcott's speed would've devastated any opponents.
22:15 The nonchalance of that dummy by Kanu whilst defending. Love him.
10:55 look at Kanu’s celebration for the pen being awarded
Arsenal where so solid back in the days hard to break down.
You see that Arsenal fan around 15:24 pointing Pires where to cross the ball lolololol Great vision even by the Arsenal fans
Eagle 🦅 eye 👁️
What makes this team special was Bergkamp pires lungberg Cole Henry and never forgetting viera and kanu plus wiltord
@R S
Oh great analysis there...🤣
Lauren was underrated imo
20:51 Parlour takes out 2 players! And ref and him start laughing at them on the ground lol
Yet again this match just showed how strong we were at the time.
No Bergkamp
No Adams
No Vieira
No Seaman
No problem.
But Arsenal had both their PFA and FWA player of the year winners firing on all cylinders in this game, and their second goal probably showed why either deserved to win the accolades. Between their goals and assists, Arsenal's route to the double was fairly easy. Both routinely turned up in the biggest of games that season.
I forgot how quick this Arsenal side were with their movement. What a player Litmanan was. LFC fan
I want this Arsenal back 😭
I used to always feel Arsenal were just going to win every match somehow, even when we were down. Just so much quality
Wow What A fantastic game ____ I will always be A gooner

Wenger had good fighters though most refs never loved Arsenal team
So true
True but they didn't have to love us just show impartiality!

Pires, Ljungberg and Henry. The best strike partnership there will ever be
Disagree never once did they register 100 goals in a top flight season.
Never once contributed to a season scoring a 100 goals, so not the best.
For Arsenal
I always remember saying to my boys lap up every minute of watching arsenal because nothing lasts for ever.we achieved so much with so many dodgy decisions by referees and the media hating ever giving us credit.
What a goal-line clearance by Ashley Cole
What character and confidence. Despite being down to 10 men, they were playing to win such was the quality and winning mentality. That's away at anfield.
Brilliant.
Pires was f***ing Brilliant !!
This is the day Kanu went centre midfield and destroyed Stevie G and McAllister loool
10:54 I've never seen a ref go to get the ball to throw it to the team who won the penalty, very peculiar
Paul Durkin hated Arsenal

Pires a real legend
This level of dedication does not exist today.. It's not a matter of nostalgia, football was simply just better back then.
Sensational commentator
Mr.wenger forgot his playing style when he signed xhaka i guess
You are right ✔️
Such a strong collective unit, probably wrong to pick out any individuals but Pires and Ljungberg were Beasts!! COYG.
We need a player like freddie ljungberg in todays Arsenal squad... and also the back 4+2 cm's how they were tough and rough... #COYG
Insanely good arsenal team
Bring back our victory 🔥

Gerrard was about 20 and Pires was top draw.
bobby skinned him clean however gerrard was only a baby monster here.
