Back in 2008, Arsene Wenger's side were top with 63 points, well ahead of Alex Ferguson's Manchester United in second. It wasn't a penalty this time, but on 94 minutes, Gunners defender Riccardo Calafiori turned debutant Tom Edozie's shot into his own net. The Gunners went on to win just one of their next seven Premier League games 18 years ago. Such a poor run of results caused them to drop to third place, nine points behind new leaders Manchester United. Despite winning their final four games, Arsenal finished the season in third place with 83 points, four behind champions Manchester United and two behind runners-up Chelsea.
