It's time to reveal the Gunners' Greatest 50 Goals - as voted for by Arsenal's fans.
We kick off with a stunning volley from Emmanuel Adebayor.
The Togo striker was unplayable at times during the 2007/08 campaign and Newcastle had no answer to this effort after just three minutes of Arsenal's Premier League game at St. James' Park on December 5.
The visitors launched an early attack but the danger seemed to have passed until a rash clearance landed straight at the feet of Emmanuel Eboue near the right-hand touchline. The Ivory Coast international looked up and floated a perfect delivery towards Adebayor, who had found space between two defenders just inside the box.
Adebayor rose to meet the ball with his chest and, as it dropped, volleyed past Shay Given and into the roof of the net from 12 yards. It was a perfectly-executed strike from a striker at the top of his game.
The omens looked good for Arsenal after that early goal - they had won 18 of the 20 previous games in which Adebayor had scored. But Newcastle hit back to earn a point.
