Arsenal goal of the decade: the results revealed
A COUPLE of weeks ago I asked Goodplaya.com readers to vote for their Arsenal goal of the decade.
Whereas the Arsenal.com competition limited visitors to picking one goal from a shortlist of 10, I gave you 50 goals, allowed you to award each one either bronze (1 point), silver (2 points), gold (3 points) or nothing and also let you pick your best (an extra 5 points).
Videos of most of the 50 goals are available here. But now for the results, in reverse order.
See the bottom of the post for a few observations:
50. 04-05: Henry v Munich
48=. 05-06: Henry home to Liverpool

7. 09-10: Cesc v Spurs
6. 01-02: Pires lobbing Schmiechal
5. 02-03: Henry at home v Spurs
4. 03-04: Henry dances through Liverpool
3. 06-07: RVP at Charlton
2. 00-01: Henry v Man United
1. 01-02: Bergkamp at Newcastle
A few thoughts:
- The top three are the same as the Arsenal.com top three.
- Bergkamp’s goal won by a landslide, with one in three people voting it their top goal.
- You couldn’t even pick Pires lobbing Schmiechal in the Arsenal.com one.
- Cesc v Spurs this season is very highly rated but to put it all down to recency is perhaps wrong. After all, neither his more recent goal v Villa and Arshavin’s strike at Anfield ranked highly. The interesting thing about the Cesc goal was that while only a couple of people picked it as their goal of the decade, very large numbers gave it a gold award.
- One of my personal favourites is Henry v West Ham away. Arguably it features the second best touch of the decade from an Arsenal player, with Bergkamp at Newcastle the best. Below are both goals. Enjoy.
