Tag: 1989

In the 1988-1989 season, Arsenal Football Club, based in London, England, won the English First Division, which is now known as the Premier League. It was the club’s first league title win in 18 years and the first under the management of George Graham.

Throughout the season, they had battled with Liverpool and eventual runners-up, Liverpool and defending champions, Everton. But Arsenal held their nerve and secured the title on the final day of the season, with a 2-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield secured the title for Arsenal. It was a special moment for the fans who had gone 18 years without a league title. Tony Adams, Michael Thomas and Alan Smith were notable players that season. The win was also special for manager George Graham, who had played for the club in the 1970s.
