Personally I have to say the playoffs semi final in 2013. Watford vs Leicester. Penalty at the 95th minute. Blocked twice and booted across the field. Then an incredible goal by Troy Deeney. Now what do you guys think?

    English First Division.

    Liverpool 0–2 Arsenal (1989)

    Final day of the season. It was considered Liverpool’s trophy already. Arsenal had to beat the best team in England by 2 goals and scored the second in the dying seconds to pip Liverpool to the trophy.

    Most on this sub are probably too young to remember it, but what a game.

      The shots of the Liverpool players asking the ref how much time left, it’s just so beautiful

      Important context here is that by winning 2-0 Arsenal would only draw level on points. So, down to goal difference then. 2-0 would actually make them level on goal difference too. Arsenal won with pretty much the last kick of the entire season and even then they won because they scored more goals. There may never be a tighter finish.

      I was there, aged 17 in the away end that Thomas scored in. Absolute pandemonium. Still gives me goosebumps and heart palpitations when I watch it now.
