Hasta la Vivas

May 11, 1999 – the night when the Premier League title slipped from Arsenal’s grasp and went to Manchester United. On a unique occasion in Arsene Wenger’s management career at Arsenal, he singled out defender Nelson Vivas after a 1-0 defeat at Leeds, which effectively handed the title to United. “We made a huge tactical error, which is unusual for us. Nelson Vivas was in a very bad position at the far post,” said Wenger afterwards. Vivas (above) was bombed out the following season.
