    Arsenal reached a notable milestone on Monday night when Emmanuel Adebayor's strike took the Club to 1,000 goals in the Premier League.</p>

    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.</p>

    </p>

    <span class="gold">Ian Wright
    Arsenal 2-0 Everton. August 28, 1993</span>
    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.</p>

    <span class="gold">Ian Wright
    Swindon Town 0-4 Arsenal. December 27, 1993</span>
    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.</p>

    </p>

    <span class="gold">Dennis Bergkamp
    Leicester City 3-3 Arsenal. August 27, 1997</span>
    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.</p>

    <span class="gold">Nigel Winterburn
    Chelsea 2-3 Arsenal. September 21, 1997</span>
    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.</p>

    </p>

    <span class="gold">Kanu
    Tottenham Hotspur 1-3 Arsenal. May 5, 1999</span>
    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.</p>

    <span class="gold">Kanu
    Chelsea 2-3 Arsenal. October 23, 1999</span>
    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.</p>

    <h4>Dennis Bergkamp - 2002</h4>
    </div>
    </div>

    </p>

    <span class="gold">Thierry Henry
    Arsenal 1-0 Manchester United. October 1, 2000</span>
    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.</p>

    <span class="gold">Dennis Bergkamp
    Newcastle United 0-2 Arsenal. March 2, 2002</span>
    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.</p>

    </div>

    </p>

    <span class="gold">Robert Pires
    Liverpool1-2 Arsenal. November 28, 2003</span>
    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.</p>

    <span class="gold">Robin van Persie
    Charlton Athletic 1-2 Arsenal. September 30, 2006</span>
    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.</p>

    I loved Bergkamps against Newcastle. The skill that must have required is Unreal.</p>
