5 instances where the league title was won at a major rival's stadium

#4 The Gunners win at the Theatre of Dreams, 2001-2002

Sylvain Wiltord was a constant thorn in United’s side during his time at Arsenal

The 2001/02 title race was closely-fought and full of twists and turns. Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool all were fighting for the glory. But it was the Gunners who eventually came out on the top.

Arsenal had lit up the Premiership with their quick-passing , scoring in every single league game. They never lost a game away from home that season.

Four days before the trip to Manchester, Gunners won the FA Cup beating Chelsea 2-0 with goals from Ray Parlour and Freddie Ljungberg. They needed just a point to complete the double.

To have any hopes of retaining their crown, Manchester United had to beat Arsenal at Old Trafford in the penultimate match of the season. But it was the visitors who finally broke the deadlock in the second half.

Freddie Ljungberg broke into the penalty area after being fed by Ray Parlour. His shot was saved by Fabien Barthez but the goalkeeper failed to keep hold of the ball. Sylvian Wiltord then capitalised on the rebound and slammed the ball into the net.United fought hard but couldn’t break the disciplined Arsenal defence and lost the game.

The win sparked wild celebrations in the away section of Old Trafford. A “Champions Section” banner was spotted in the away stands.

This was the only time a team other than Manchester United won the title at Old Trafford. Leicester City came close to repeating this feat but a 1-1 draw meant the Foxes had to wait till Chelsea drew with Tottenham to seal the title.
