We head to the Stadium of Light this weekend for the first time in nine years to take on Sunderland, which has been the site of some spectacular Gunners moments.

We have had some great trips to Wearside over the past 30 years, scoring breathtaking goals and recording big results, as well as creating club history along the way.

Here are five of our most memorable games against the Black Cats:

January 15, 1997
Sunderland 0-2 Arsenal

This game was our last at Roker Park, a ground we had been visiting since 1905, and perhaps one of the greatest goals ever netted there came in this FA Cup third round replay. In the first minute of the second half, Dennis Bergkamp received the ball on the edge of the box, spun away from two defenders, squared up another and then impudently clipped the ball into the top corner to hand us the lead.

We secured our passage to the next round when Paul Merson sent over a cross for Stephen Hughes to bravely nod home to register his first-ever goal for the club on his third appearance, but the highlight of this night was undoubtedly Bergkamp’s beauty.
