ARSENE’S FIRST HOME GAME? A 0-0 WITH COVENTRY!

ARSENE WENGER signed off at the Emirates in style with a 5-0 win over Burnley. His first home game, on October 19, 1996, was more inauspicious — a stalemate with Coventry. This is his team from that day:

ARSENAL (3-5-2): David Seaman; Martin Keown, Tony Adams, Steve Bould; Lee Dixon, Paul Merson, Patrick Vieira, David Platt, Nigel Winterburn; John Hartson (Dennis Bergkamp 67min), Ian Wright.
