May 2, 1971 - A moment of magic from Martin Chivers as Arsenal's title-winning season reaches its climax. The Gunners' striker is seen in mid-air, his arms outstretched in celebration after scoring the decisive goal against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane. But it's not just Chivers' strike that has won the match for Arsenal - Eddie Kelly's trickery on the wing has left Spurs reeling. Kelly's pace and skill have caused chaos throughout the game, leaving defenders grasping at air as he dances past them with ease. His clever play has created numerous chances for his teammates, and ultimately leads to Chivers' winner. The victory takes Arsenal to the top of the table, securing their first league championship since 1953. It's a momentous occasion for manager Bertie Mee and his team, who have defied expectations all season long. This iconic image captures a pivotal moment in English football history. The Northcliffe Collection is proud to preserve this piece of nostalgia for generations to come.
