The goals that have grabbed the headlines over the past 17 years.
This article cover the Top Ten Arsenal goals of the Arsene Wenger era first appeared on the always excellent Fanatix.
Jack Wilshere’s goal against Norwich City on Saturday was heralded as one of the best goals perhaps ever seen from an Arsenal player.
The link-up play between Santi Cazorla, Olivier Giroud and Wilshere was undeniably superb and there are valid arguments that it is one of the finest strikes since Arsene Wenger took charge in 1996.
So fanatix looks at the 10 best goals since the Frenchman became manager.
10. ANDREY ARSHAVIN v Blackburn Rovers:
After fizzling out over the past few seasons it’s easy to forget how good Arshavin really was and this was the Russian’s first goal for the Gunners.
9. EDUARDO v Burnley:
Another who never quite achieved the success expected in north London was Eduardo – admittedly largely due to a terrible injury – but this volley upon return from that leg break was brilliant.
8. SAMIR NASRI v FC Porto
It’s easy to see why Manchester City paid so much for Nasri when the Frenchman scores great individual efforts like this one in the Champions League.
7. THIERRY HENRY v Tottenham Hotspur
This list just wouldn’t be right without at least one inclusion of the legendary Henry and this effort against rivals Tottenham shows just what the striker could do.
6. RAY PARLOUR v Chelsea
If a player is going to score then it might as well be on the biggest stage and this cracker from Parlour came in the 2002 FA Cup final victory over Chelsea.
5. NWANKWO KANU v Chelsea
Back when Arsenal were bossing the Premier League the first time round under Wenger, Kanu scored this superb individual effort to secure a hat-trick and three points.
4. DENNIS BERGKAMP v Leicester City
If any young football fan wants to see what it’s like to have a deft touch that just takes defenders out of game, check out this effort from Bergkamp that secured the Dutchman’s hat-trick in an FA Cup clash.
3. ROBIN VAN PERSIE v Charlton Athletic
Back when a certain Van Persie was earning a reputation as a world-class striker with the Gunners, this bullet against Charlton showed a sign of things to come.
2. THIERRY HENRY v Manchester United
The thing that set Henry apart from most forwards was the attacker’s ability to do the unthinkable and this excellently timed volley against rivals United proves it.
1. DENNIS BERGKAMP v Newcastle United
Regarded as perhaps the best Premier League goal of all time, Bergkamp shows class, strength and skill to bamboozle Nikos Dabizas and bury this superb effort.
