Great moment of Arsenal football history captured in this iconic photo: Arsenal's Robin van Persie (#10) celebrates his winning goal against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on August 21, 2005. The Dutch striker's strike in the 89th minute secured a crucial 1-0 victory for the Gunners, marking the beginning of an impressive run in the Premier League season. The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge was electric as both teams battled it out for supremacy in the early stages of the campaign. Arsenal, under the management of Arsène Wenger, were determined to make a statement against their London rivals. Chelsea, led by Claudio Ranieri, were equally determined to secure all three points at home. As the game wore on, chances were few and far between for both sides. However, in the final moments of the match, Van Persie, who had only joined Arsenal the previous summer from Feyenoord, rose to the occasion. Receiving a pass from Robert Pires, the Dutchman unleashed a powerful shot that flew past the reach of Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Čech. The Arsenal players and fans erupted in jubilation as Van Persie wheeled away in celebration. The victory was a significant one, not only for the three points it earned but also for the confidence it instilled in the team. Arsenal went on to finish the season in second place, just two points behind champions Chelsea. This photo serves as a reminder of a pivotal moment in Arsenal's history and the impact that one goal can have on a team's morale and ultimately, their season's outcome.
