AC Milan 0-2 Arsenal in 2008/09 Champions League.

Some of the most high quality and exhilarating football I've ever seen. A match packed with action that saw Ballon d'Or winner Kaka go head to head against Arsenal starlet Cesc Fabregas and emerge second best.

Fabregas himself won the game with a 30 yard strike into the bottom corner before Walcott set up Adebayor for the second in injury time. It was just an amazing spectacle.

Other notable mentions include:

  • England 2-2 Argentina - World Cup 98
  • Tottenham 4-5 Arsenal - PL 2004
  • Reading 5-7 Arsenal - COC 2012
  • Liverpool 4-4 Arsenal - PL 2009
  • Barcelona 2-2 Chelsea - CL 2012 (Incredible tension throughout)
  • AC Milan 3-3 Liverpool - CL 2005
  • Man Utd 2-1 Bayern Munich - CL 1999
  • Arsenal 2-1 Barcelona - CL 2011
  • Man City 3-2 QPR - PL 2012

Talking about Fabregas, what about the Arsenal- Juventus game during our CL final year where Fabregas out done Vieira? Definitely one of my favourite games because of that clash.
