12. Arsene Wenger clinches his first double – 1998
Two weeks after clinching the league against Everton – thanks to that Tony Adams goal – Arsenal headed to Wembley for the FA Cup final against Newcastle.
Arsenal were short of their brilliant best but were too strong for Kenny Dalglish’s side. A goal in either half clinched the club’s seventh FA Cup and its second Double.
The final whistle confirmed Arsenal’s status as English football’s finest and further vindicated the decision in 1996 to appoint Wenger as manager.
The Frenchman was a virtual unknown when he arrived; a Double in his first full season silenced any remaining doubters.
