Arsenal celebrated Michael Thomas’ birthday by commemorating his famous goal to win the 1989 title.
It is the last game of the 1988/89 season. We have a chance at the title. But we have to beat Liverpool. With two goals. On Anfield Road. No team has made it since February 1986.
We lead 1-0 in overtime. Thomas storms through midfield. It’s up for grabs now… pic.twitter.com/dBlS9MPh2F
