Arsenal reached a notable milestone on Monday night when Emmanuel Adebayor's strike took the Club to 1,000 goals in the Premier League.
The 1,000th goal was typical Arsenal - quick passing, slick movement and a clinical finish. We've trawled through the archives to pick out 10 other beauties from Arsenal's years in the Premier League.

Ian Wright
Arsenal 2-0 Everton. August 28, 1993
Wrighty at his brilliant best. The striker latched onto a long goal-kick from Seaman, lifted the ball over two defenders and cushioned a perfect lob into the North Bank net.

Ian Wright
Swindon Town 0-4 Arsenal. December 27, 1993
Kevin Campbell scored a hat-trick but Wrighty stole the show in the last minute at the County Ground with an astonishing chip into the top corner from fully 40 yards.

Dennis Bergkamp
Leicester City 3-3 Arsenal. August 27, 1997
Goal of the Season from the Player of the Year. A brilliant first touch to kill Platt's pass, quick feet to turn inside his marker and a cool finish to complete his hat-trick.

Nigel Winterburn
Chelsea 2-3 Arsenal. September 21, 1997
A rollercoaster of a game at Stamford Bridge looked destined for a draw when Winterburn picked up the ball 30 yards out and rifled an unstoppable drive into the top corner.

Kanu
Tottenham Hotspur 1-3 Arsenal. May 5, 1999
Kanu was tightly marked with his back to goal but a breathtaking piece of skill saw the Nigerian flick the ball up and over his opponent before ramming home a shot.

Kanu
Chelsea 2-3 Arsenal. October 23, 1999
The best comeback ever? Kanu, having scored twice already, chases down a loose ball and bewilders the keeper before finding the top corner from the acutest of angles.

Thierry Henry
Arsenal 1-0 Manchester United. October 1, 2000
Marked by Neville, Henry collects a short free kick with his back to goal 25 yards out. In one movement he flicks the ball up, turns and volleys it into the top corner.

Dennis Bergkamp
Newcastle United 0-2 Arsenal. March 2, 2002
Another Bergkamp classic. He flicks a pass from Pires to one side of Dabizas and spins past his marker on the other side to collect the ball and apply a precise finish.

Robert Pires
Liverpool 1-2 Arsenal. November 28, 2004
After a slow start to the season, Pires comes to life with a superb curling shot into the top corner to complete a vital comeback victory for Arsenal at Anfield.

Robin van Persie
Charlton Athletic 1-2 Arsenal. September 30, 2006
Van Persie races towards the edge of the box to meet Eboue's right-wing cross. He makes perfect contact with a flying volley to rocket the ball into the top corner. |
