Liverpool v Arsenal 1989 Football League First Division Decider

Liverpool V Arsenal (26 May 1989)
This is a VHS video recording from the TV on the day of the match in 1989, with a half time analysis and some classic adverts from the 80's.
The final match of the 1988-89 English Football League season was contested on 26 May 1989, between Liverpool and Arsenal, at Liverpool's Anfield ground. It was a match between the top two teams in the First Division, and the teams were close enough on points for the match to act as a decider for the First Division Championship. Arsenal needed to win the game by at least two goals to take the title, while Liverpool enjoyed home advantage and had won the FA Cup the previous weekend.
The match is considered to be one of the most dramatic conclusions to a league season in the history of the English game. It is also regarded as the starting point of a renaissance in English football and the moment where people started to see the untapped commercial potential of live football on television.
