We revisit one of the landmark achievements of English football and discover how hard it was to play against Arsene Wenger's famous side
Arsenal’s second goal to seal the win that day is not one Higginbotham looks back on fondly, but neither does he have a solution as to how he could have stopped what Henry did to him and Rory Delap just prior to scoring it.
Henry finished second in the Ballon D’Or that year and ended with 39 goals in all competitions — 30 of them in the Premier League., he went a step further. As goalkeeper Brad Friedel went to kick the ball from his hands, he pinched the ball away with his foot while it was tossed in the air and tapped into an empty net. The goal was disallowed.“That wasn’t really an incident to me.
Ewood Park was not an easy place to visit at that time, as shown by the fact Manchester United failed to win a Premier League game there between 1999 and 2006. “They had the killer instinct. When the game was on the line and you see Bergkamp and Henry closing you down, it sent you a message. That’s why they were invincible.”midfielder Lee Clark learned how suffocating their pressing could be despite conceding only once to them in two games, becoming the first team in 46 games to keep them out for a full 90 minutes at Highbury.
