May 3, 1998 is another cherished date for Arsenal fans.

On that sunny afternoon in north London, Arsene Wenger won his first title as manager - at the end of his first full season in charge.

Slaven Bilic's own goal gave Arsenal the perfect start against Everton and a brace from Marc Overmars clinched victory - and the championship - before Tony Adams applied the coup de grace from Steve Bould's assist.

Wenger and Arsenal went on to win the Double that season.
