Unofficial Champions of England: Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea, 31/01/1999


Dennis Bergkamp strikes for Arsenal

Chelsea went into the game at Highbury in good confidence. Two defeats in 31 games all season, second in the table and the Unofficial Champions of England. Their latest run had seen successful defences against Manchester United, Newcastle United, Coventry City and er, Oxford United and Oldham Athletic.

Arsenal wanted a bit of revenge for their 0-5 defeat to Chelsea two months previously as they put their own season back on track.

A familiar chant rang out at Highbury of 'One-Nil, to the Arsenal!' as Dutch Menace Dennis Bergkamp's well taken strike was enough to win the game for the Gunners against their London rivals.

Arsenal were Unofficial Champions for the second time.
