United thus knocked Arsenal out in an FA Cup semi-final replay; Ryan Giggs scored the winner in extra time in the 109th minute.

Striker Nwankwo Kanu joined Arsenal in January 1999.

30 different players represented Arsenal in five competitions, and there were 14 different goalscorers.
Arsenal’s top goalscorer was Nicolas Anelka, who scored 19 goals in 45 appearances.
