Michael Thomas settled it in the dying seconds, and a long wait for the league was over.
- Division One 1988/891988/89: The Anfield SeasonGeorge Graham's Arsenal won the Division One title in the most dramatic fashion, taking the championship from Liverpool with a stoppage-time goal at Anfield on the final night of the season.
