A brilliant goal from Dennis Bergkamp set Arsenal off towards a crucial win that helped them towards the Barclays Premier League title.
The goal in the 11th minute epitomized all the skills that Bergkamp possessed. Receiving the ball from Robert Pires on the left, the Dutchman showed great technique to flick it past one side of Nikos Dabizas, the Newcastle United defender, while pirouetting to pass the Greek on the other side.
Bergkamp then showed the physicality that had been instilled in him in training by his team-mates at Arsenal to hold off Dabizas, before demonstrating his cool to slip the ball past the onrushing Shay Given.
A goal from Sol Campbell 30 minutes later doubled Arsenal’s lead before half-time and they survived the second half without a major scare.
The victory was enough to return Arsenal to the top of the table, where they remained as the match was the third in a 13-match winning streak that took them to their second title under Arsene Wenger.
