Arsenal needed to win by two clear goals, and led thanks to a strike by Alan Smith going into stoppage time.

It was then that Thomas struck to silence the league holders and cap a famous night that helped George Graham lift the Gunners' ninth league title. 

Current midfielder Jack Wilshere was in attendance, with his wife Andriani Michael, but it was a night for the club legends to be reacquainted.
