“Oh, it’s Overmars.... HE’S DONE IT THIS TIME!”

On this day in 1998. What a day! Overmars on 🔥🔥🔥
The wild curly haired Arsenal fans celebration at the end is iconic and timeless
What a player Overmars was!
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Alexis Sanchez left Arsenal for Manchester United for Champions League football and still got eliminated in the last 16
It's easy to forget how bias the officials were at OT in those days. They were running scared of making a bad decision against the home team. The advantage that gave Man Utd shouldn't be underestimated.
Overmars destroyed them single handedly
Overmars pace was frightening
Overmars was over Jupiter in that game
What a legend Marc Overmars
That ecstatic gooner at the end though...
I remember I was 10 .... I barely used to watch football, only knew Ronaldo, but for some reason this game caught my attention as I was flipping through the channels, and then I watched how Arsenal and especially Overmars played, and that's where my love for Arsenal began... used to LOVE Overmars, Bergkamp, Petit... and although I'm glad that Arsenal will start a new journey after 22 years of Arsene, never forget what a legend that man is. Class personified. Hopefully now we can kick on and win bigger and better things
I still remember watching this as a kid :)
Lets have a moment of silence for Alexis Sanchez who went to Buschester United to win Champions League😃😃😃✌
Amazing Overmars 🔥
I remember watching this game live on Sky. I remember Overmars ripped G Neville to bits down the left wing. This was the win that really started our run to the title that year!
The Flying Dutchmen🛫🛬 Overmars & Bergkamp
Wonderful Overmars
Man this brings back memories. This was the year I started watching the English Premier league and I picked Arsenal as my team because of Petit, Overmars & especially Bergkamp!
there isn't a single Arsenal-United game under Fergie that doesn't have some questionable refereeing decision, and im not even counting Fergie time.
Even as an Arsenal fan, I couldn't help but feel sorry for John Curtis after that game, Overmars was on fire, and ran him ragged in the first half, it was almost cruel to watch. He was substituted after half-time, and I don't think he ever played for Utd again. Thing is, think even an experienced right back would have struggled against Overmars in that form.
