They scored 73 goals in the Premier League that season but they also conceded just 26 times, meaning they finished with a +47 goal difference.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who did Arsenal beat when they last won the Premier League?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Arsenal were held to 12 draws in the 2003\/04 season, but they still pulled off some major wins.<\/p>\n<p>After winning five of their opening seven games, the Gunners pulled off impressive back-to-back wins at Liverpool and at home to Chelsea, with both matches ending 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>They then won the North London derby at home against Tottenham in November thanks to Robert Pires and Freddie Ljungberg\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal then went on a roll from early January until mid-March, with Wenger\u2019s men winning all nine of their Premier League games, including a crucial victory at Chelsea in February.<\/p>\n<p>They were then held to a 1-1 draw at home against Manchester United \u2013 after the reverse fixture ended 0-0 earlier in the season \u2013 and a 2-2 draw at Tottenham in the second north London derby in April.<\/p>\n<p>Four games remained for Arsenal to go the season unbeaten. They played out draws against Birmingham at home and Portsmouth away before beating Fulham 1-0 at Craven Cottage on the penultimate game of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal then got the job done at home against Leicester on 15th May, with Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira netting for the Gunners in a 2-1 win.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who were Arsenal\u2019s top players when they last won the Premier League?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Arsenal\u2019s starting XI was full of world-class talent when they went unbeaten in the 2003\/04 season.<\/p>\n<p>Jens Lehmann, who played every Premier League game that season, was their goalkeeper behind a back four of Lauren, Kolo Toure, Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole.<\/p>\n<p>The midfield consisted of Fredrik Ljungberg on the right, Patrick Vieira and Gilberto Silva in the middle and Robert Pires on the left.<\/p>\n<p>That left Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp up top for Wenger\u2019s title-winning side.<\/p>\n<p>Henry, who is regarded by many as the best Premier League player ever, finished as the Golden Boot winner, with the Frenchman netting 30 times that season. He then went on to win it for the next two years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch, check out our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">TV Guide<\/a> or\u00a0<a title=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/&quot;\" href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><b>Streaming Guide<\/b><\/a>, or visit our <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sport\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Sport<\/a> hub for all the latest news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home \u2013 <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\" data-auth=\"&quot;NotApplicable&quot;\" data-safelink=\"&quot;true&quot;\" data-linkindex=\"&quot;0&quot;\">subscribe now<\/a>.
