Arsenal's only goal arrived through super-sub Nwankwo Kanu on 66 minutes after he replaced top scorer Nicolas Anelka but it proved to be a mere consolation as Manchester United's Andy Cole struck in the second half to give United the Championship.

The win moved Arsenal onto 78 points but despite an impressive campaign Arsene Wenger's trophy cabinet of 1999 remained empty.

In the early moments of the second-half, Arsenal were running riot and Michael Oakes was forced to pull off a splendid full-length save - his third outstanding save of the game -as Patrick Viera fired a shot from point blank range. Arsenal finally broke the dead-lock after Arsene Wenger's tactical masterstroke when he replaced the tired Anelka for African sensation, Kanu.
The Nigerian's impact was almost immediate as he controlled Petit's corner and then turned and shot fiercely into the net to give the Gunners' the lead.
