This documentary tells the story behind Arsenal’s improbable First Division championship in 1989 and the dramatic final goal that would change English football forever. Needing at least a two-goal victory to win the championship over a heavily-favored Liverpool squad, Arsenal held a one-goal lead near the match’s end before scoring a last-minute goal to clinch the title. The historic match is considered to be a significant turning point in English football history, helping lead to the formation of the Premier League and the birth of the modern game.

Huge Liverpool fan I was 18 at the time and don't remember much about this game I guess I must have somehow near erased it out of my memory I wonder why! Fascinating documentary tho that's helped fill in the blanks! Loved football infinitely more in this period than today.
I'm a Palace fan, but Arsenal are my second team, so that season, l went to see the Gunners play Millwall, Forest, and Charlton at home, and Southampton and Millwall away. So, saw no home wins, but 100% away. That sums up that season.
Waooo!! One of all time best moment in football!!
Still pains me this game……. YNWA!! 🤔
Repeat it this against Liverpool in May at Anfield .
Its number one in my book 🔴⚪♥️👍
I rmember watching it in my flat and for a few days felt I was floating on air cus I couldn`t get the finish out of my head. Went up on me pushbike from Rotherhithe to see the open top bus parade at Islington Town Hall. Unforgetable.
Well played Rocky and all your team. 🔴⚪️ London remembers.
Better than 2012 which was painful.
Wonderful documentary, goose-pimples. I must have seen the dying moments of the game and Micky Thomas's goal a hundred times through the years and I'm still worried the ref will blow up for full-time or that Micky will be caught on the ball as he shapes to make the decisive shot.
Brings tears to my eyes. Legends all.
Lifelong diehard Utd fan here…. This was absolutely FANTASTIC 🔥 Pure goosies at the end!! 😮
👏🏻
Ah Wrighty we all know you grew up with ROCKY and you 2 was extremely tight loved what he said too you and stuck with you and for everyone else Yes Yes
You can achieve anything you want too do xx
Arsenal are the only London Club too Challenge the 2 Big Northern Clubs and and Win League titles on on on their Patch 1 Anfield 2 Old Trafford 😂😂😂😂😂
The parade to the town hall that year is still to this day the best party I’ve ever been to, I’m 51. Went to most games that season. Remember getting crushed at West Ham against one of those metal barriers and my mate saving my life ~ when I saw Hillsborough it sent a shiver through me, still does. I watched the Liverpool game in a Snooker hall of all places. Get goose bumps all over my body watching that goal. Best summer of my life – Acid House parties and Arsenal winning the league. This year I’ve indoctrinated my 5 year old into being a Gooner – feels great,best club in the f***** world.
Arsenal have won the league at Tottenham stadium, Liverpool stadium and Man Utds stadium 🏟️
So many memories of this game, sitting at home with my dad watching the game. it has got to be my greatest moment supporting the arsenal, greater than the 'invincibles' simply because it all happened in one game, not over a whole season. '89 what a year !!
As a city fan I can say this is the greatest finish to a season…. In ALL of English football history
I wouldn’t say 1/2, more like 1a/1b because of how dramatic city’s was but for arsenal to win in that fashion… no better story written
Merry Christmas and a very Happy 2025 to all. We should invoke this spirit and chase Liverpool down to win our 14th League title. COYG!
44:12 fans and people had such sharp style back then. Rave was coming in too.
Even as a Liverpool fan i loved that. Broke my heart as a nipper but is a truly classic ending to the season. Some nice words from the boys about Hillsborough too. And nice that Rocky is remembered also. Great doc.
The Kop at the end gave Arsenal huge applause and chanted 'Champions'. It would have been nice to mention that in an otherwise brilliant brilliant documentary
Even in these days, someone had a member of his family who as a Spurds fan went through bitter pain watching Arsenal lift a trophy 🏆. Always in our shadow 😂😂😂😂
This is a great game even as Liverpool fan,end to end no quarter given brilliant 😊😊😊
Horrible experience for us obviously. I remember feeling so guilty that I was so upset afterwards given what had happened at Hillsborough. I was 18 and wept like a child for about an hour. It just felt so cruel. I felt so selfish at being upset over a dumb game of football when we had lost so many people. I still feel that way now watching this, so many conflicting emotions. Football can be funny that way, being the most important of the unimportant things. Arsenal were a good side though and deserved champs.
