18th April 1993.

Arsenal 2 - 1 Sheffield Wednesday.
(Coca Cola League Cup Final)

Arsenal reached the League Cup Final at the Old Wembley Stadium. The Gunners faced Sheffield Wednesday, in front of a crowd of 74,007.
Sheffield Wednesday took the lead quite early in the match. American John Harkes giving them the lead. Then Paul Merson equalised with a brilliant goal. In the second half, Steve Morrow scored, what was proved to be the winner.




The scorer of Arsenal's winning goal, Steve Morrow, was to miss the Trophy lift. He broke his arm during the after match celebrations.
Paul Merson won the Man of the Match Award.
These two teams would meet each other again, in the FA Cup Final, a few weeks later.

22nd April 2006.

Arsenal 1 - 1 Tottenham Hotspur.
(Premier League)

Arsenal were playing Tottenham Hotspur, in what was to be the last North London Derby to be played at Highbury. A crowd of 38,326 was in attendance.
It was Sp**s that were to open the scoring, a goal coming through forward Robbie Keane.



Arsenal striker Thierry Henry was on the substitutes bench, for the start of this match. He was brought on in the second half, and made quite an impact, as he scored the equalising goal. This gave Arsenal a 1 - 1 full time score.
Tottenham midfielder Edgar Davids, was sent off in this match.

Apparently, one Arsenal player from that season is still continuing his career
Mark Howard... Even though he didn’t play any official matches with the first team that season.

Yes, I looked him up on website. To be honest, as far as previous Youth/Reserve Arsenal goalkeepers go, that name doesn't ring any bells.
At 6ft tall, quite a presence in goal. He was at St Mirren for a while, then played for a few league clubs, South of the Border. See that he is currently at a team, in North Wales, Wrexham.

13th May 2018.

Huddersfield Town 0 - 1 Arsenal.
(Premier League)


On this Day in 2018, Arsenal played their final league match of the season. It was an away match in Yorkshire, where they played Huddersfield Town, at the John Smith's Stadium.
Huddersfield v Arsenal sounds like a fixture from a by gone era. Herbert Chapman, matches against Blackpool and Preston. (No disrespect to these teams).



A Crowd of 24,122 was at the stadium. This match also marked Arsène Wenger's final game, as Arsenal manager.
This was Arsène Wenger's 1,235th, and final game in charge. Arsène was given a Guard of Honour, by both sets of players.


Merci Arsène.

Onto the game itself, Arsenal had given the fans the chance to sing, 'One - Nil, to the Arsenal'. Arsenal won 1 - 0, with striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang scoring the only goal, in the 38th minute.


Merci Arsène.
