Arsenal boss Wenger admits he missed Michael Thomas moment

Arsene Wenger has revealed how he missed one of the great moments in Arsenal's history.

This season marks the 20th anniversary of the night that Michael Thomas scored in stoppage time to snatch the title from Liverpool on Merseyside.

Ahead of tonight's game, Wenger revealed: "No, we did not watch English games live in France.

"We felt we were better than England and television was less internationalised than it is now - we only watched domestic games.

"I have seen the goals, I haven't seen the game but I have seen the goals many times since and it makes history. It made history because it's in the final minute and it was the unpredictability of winning 2-0 at Anfield that made a big impact.

"You always feel when people speak about it that it was a special moment of the Club. It was such a big thing. Since then we've won a few times at Anfield as well. What is amazing is that Liverpool was a dominant force at the time but they've had more problems to dominate English football like they did at the time."
