Arsenal’s winner with 96 minutes and 59 seconds on the clock sparked an explosion of emotions. Not only at the Emirates Stadium. But in the homes of every single Arsenal supporter, too.
My old colleague Ian Wright won’t have been the only one leaping off the sofa. Even Arsenal’s competitors, deep down, will have admired the spirit that was shown to come back from 2-0 down to win 3-2.
In 2003-04 — the last time Arsenal won the league — we fell behind to opponents in nine games. Yet we never accepted defeat. We never gave up.
