There has been some rather remarkable goals scored at St James' Park over the years. From Cheick Tioté's last-minute volley in a 4-4 draw with Arsenal to Alan Shearer's thunderbolt against Everton, Newcastle United fans have been treated to many stunning strikes since the turn of the century.
However, today marks the 20 th anniversary of the transcendent goal from Dennis Bergkamp against the Magpies, possibly the greatest scored by an opposition player on Tyneside. It was a finish of pure class and is remembered for its difficulty, uniqueness, and grace.
Newcastle and Arsenal were both chasing the Premier League title ahead of the game and it was a clash of so much importance. The Gunners ran out 2-0 winners and it put a massive dent in the Toon's hopes of lifting the league.
