On this day 19 years ago, Leeds United ended Arsenal’s hopes of retaining the Premier League title with a 3-2 win at Highbury. Mark Viduka’s 88th-minute winner helped the Whites confirm their Premier League survival while ruining the Gunners’ hopes on their own patch.
Jesse Marsch will be hoping that the class of 2022 can recreate a similar performance and result when his side make the trip to the Emirates on Sunday. The game on May 4, 2003 was the last time Leeds beat Arsenal, an 11-game winless run the visitors will be desperate to end at the weekend.
On the day, a sensational finish from Harry Kewell inside five minutes left David Seaman with no chance and put Leeds in front. Although, 25 minutes later, the hosts were back on level terms as Thierry Henry headed in from point-blank range after Paul Robinson had tipped Ray Parlour’s effort onto the post.
