The setup. The last match of the English league season. Liverpool are in the driving seat to win another championship. Arsenal must beat them by two clear goals at Anfield to deny them and win the title themselves.
It does not get much more dramatic than this. Arsenal scored and were leading 1-0 going into injury time. Then with basically the last kick of the match Michael Thomas scored to make it 2-0 and win the Championship for the Arse. Great for the Gooner fans and neutrals quite likely, absolutely as heartbreaking as possible for Liverpool fans. This one still haunts me to this day. Ironically Michael Thomas became a Liverpool player later in his career.

I'm not at all a Liverpool fan, but it's gotta be so frustrating to watch that as one. Every little bounce at the end there, every decision, is filled with 'if only he held that up in the corner' and thoughts like that.
Things like this are what make sports great, even if it makes them suck at the moment.
