Many Leeds United fans have looked back on a memorable goal from former striker Mark Viduka against Arsenal in 2003.
Footage of the Australian striker’s winner against the Gunners which ended their title hopes in the 2002/2003 season was shared via the club’s official Twitter account, and it has got The Whites fans talking.

Viduka bent home a superb winner with two minutes remaining on the clock, scoring a goal that would also end the threat of relegation for the Yorkshire club.
The striker’s Australian teammate Harry Kewell would put Leeds ahead, before Ian Harte would put the visitors in front for the second time in the game after both Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp had got the home side back in the game.
Despite appearing offside, Viduka scored late on and in doing so would hand Manchester United the title, sitting eight points clear of Arsenal with two games remaining.
