3) Arsenal 2-1 Barcelona – 2011
Another big night in the Champions League and almost certainly the best at the Emirates Stadium so far.
Arsenal welcomed Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona – one of the great club sides of the modern era – to London that evening and responded superbly after going a goal down and being outplayed.
Two superb efforts from Robin van Persie and Andrey Arshavin gave Arsenal a first leg victory and they were unlucky in the second leg to be ultimately knocked out again.
2) Arsenal 4-2 Liverpool – 2004
One of the most important wins of that ‘Invincibles’ season, Arsenal twice went behind to Liverpool here following nightmare results against Manchester United in the FA Cup and Chelsea in the Champions League.
The modern Arsenal are known for crumbling in situations like this, but back then Thierry Henry saved the day with a hat-trick, including one of his best goals in an Arsenal shirt, to deliver a 4-2 win and ease the nerves over winning the title.
This performance perfectly summed up both the quality and spirit of that 2003/04 side.
1) Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal – 2002
Surely Wenger’s most satisfying hour – a 1-0 win against Manchester United to take the title off them in their own stadium in the 2001/02 season.
Having won the FA Cup days before, this secured the double for Arsenal and remarkably also ensured they went that whole season unbeaten away from home.
Sylvain Wiltord’s goal won it in the second half as Arsenal humiliated United and gave fans one of the most memorable nights in the club’s history.
