Goals: Thierry Henry 39′ (pen); Teddy Sheringham 26′ Having taken 12 points from Everton, Middlesbrough, Aston Villa and Manchester City in the opening four games, conceding just two goals along the way, Arsenal were expected to stream roll Premier League newcomers Portsmouth in week five. However, Harry Redknapp’s side were unbeaten themselves at ...
Just one game after drawing to Portsmouth, Arsenal were again held but this time under very different circumstances. Aptly named “the Battle of Old Trafford”, the 0-0 draw between Man Utd and Arsenal was a defensive, physical affair. Wenger dropped Pires and Sylvain Wiltord in favour of Parlour and Freddie Ljungberg to create a narrow, workmanlike ...
Goals: Paolo Di Canio 27′ (pen); Thierry Henry 39′ Arsenal impressively put away Newcastle United, Liverpool and Chelsea following the Battle of Old Trafford, but were once again held in week 10 away at Charlton Athletic, who were also searching for their fourth consecutive Premier League win. Scott Parker was at his destructive best for Alan Curbi...
Another three wins — including 2-1 in the north London derby against Tottenham — followed Arsenal’s stalemate with Charlton before they were held by another capital club, this time Fulham at Highbury. It was the first time in 47 home matches that Arsenal had failed to score in the Premier League. However, it certainly wasn’t for the want of trying ...
Goals: Craig Hignett 90+3′; Gilberto Silva 60′ Arsenal were held to a second successive draw when travelling away to Leicester City in week 15 but whereas their draw with Fulham was thanks to goalkeeping heroics, this was a much more well-balanced affair. Wenger was without captain Vieira and the talismanic Henry and it really showed. Their passing...
Goals: Henrik Pedersen 83′; Robert Pires 57′ Henry was back but Arsenal were still really struggling for goals, narrowly beating Blackburn Rovers 1-0 at home in week 16. Week 17 saw them travel to the Reebok Stadium to take on Sam Allardyce’s famously robust Bolton Wanderers. Pires did put Arsenal ahead just before the hour but there’s no denying B...
Goals:Tomasz Radzinski 75′; Kanu 29′ Arsenal were still picking up results going into the new year, but they were far from convincing and were struggling to keep hold of their lead at the top of the table. Draw number seven came at Goodison Park in week 20, when the Gunners were held 1-1 by David Moyes’ Everton. Wenger’s men took the lead largely a...
Goals: Thierry Henry 50′; Louis Saha 86′ Following their draw with Everton, Arsenal went on the rampage with nine wins in a row in a run which gave them a stranglehold on the title. Predictably, that run was finally ended by none other than Manchester United at Highbury in week 30. Tempers were still clearly high from the season’s earlier meeting a...
Arsenal impressively saw off Liverpool 4-2 following their draw with United and backed that result up with a valuable 0-0 draw away at Newcastle. In reality, it could have been so much better for Wenger’s side, who dominated the Magpies from start to finish and saw Henry denied by the post having rounded Shay Given. That was one of a host of Arsena...
Goals: Jamie Redknapp 62′, Robbie Keane 90+4′ (pen); Patrick Vieira 03′, Robert Pires 35′ A 5-0 thumping of Leeds United meant Arsenal headed to White Hart Lane in week 34 needing just a point against rivals Tottenham to seal the title. For a long while, it looked like they’d take so much more. The Gunners took the lead after just three minutes in ...
The club ended the campaign as FA Cup winners, but failed to retain their Premier League title as they finished second to Chelsea. In the UEFA Champions League, Arsenal made an exit in the knockout stages to Bayern Munich.
Jan 10, 2013 · Arsenal 2003/04 unbeaten title-winning team have been voted as the Best Team in the Premier League’s 20 seasons awards. It is the first team to win the Premier League title having not lost a game. The last team to achieve it was over a hundred years ago. It was a big achievement that earned the…
Although Arsenal would go on to break the league record for matches unbeaten, eventually losing away to United in October 2004 after 49 games without defeat, those two sides, who had dominated...
