1998–99 Arsenal F.C. season

The 1998–99 season was the 101st season of competitive football played by Arsenal.

The club, managed by Arsène Wenger, entered the campaign as Premier League and FA Cup double winners.

They ended this campaign as league runners-up, a point behind Manchester United, who secured the title on the final day of the season.

United also eliminated Arsenal in a FA Cup semi-final replay; Ryan Giggs scored an extra time winner in the 109th minute.

Arsenal competed in Europe's premier club competition – the UEFA Champions League – for the first time since its rebrand in 1992, but failed to progress past the group stage.

In the transfer window, Arsenal purchased several players, including Swedish midfielder Freddie Ljungberg and Argentine Nelson Vivas.

Ian Wright – the club's all-time top goalscorer, left in the summer to play for West Ham United.

Striker Nwankwo Kanu joined Arsenal in January 1999.

Arsenal made an indifferent start to their league campaign with four consecutive draws from their first five matches.

After defeat to Aston Villa in December 1998, the team embarked on a 19 match unbeaten run to steadily climb up the league table.

A 6-1 win against Middlesbrough in April 1999 moved Arsenal to the top of the table for the first time in the season and victory against Tottenham Hotspur put the team three points clear as main challenger United drew with Liverpool.

Both Arsenal and Manchester United went into the final two games of the league season on the same number of points, but the latter's defeat to Leeds United all but ended their chances of retaining the title.

30 different players represented Arsenal in five competitions and there were 14 different goalscorers.

Arsenal's top goalscorer was Nicolas Anelka, who scored 19 goals in 45 appearances.
