(2003/04 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals)

Wayne Bridge was the unlikely hero as Chelsea won a tight London derby to reach the UEFA Champions League semi-finals 15 years ago.

Eidur Gudjohnsen and Robert Pirès had traded goals at Stamford Bridge in the first leg but Arsenal looked to be heading for victory in the return when José Antonio Reyes scored on the stroke of half-time.

Resilient as ever, Chelsea replied through Frank Lampard and, with extra time looming, completed the comeback when full-back Bridge burst through to fire an 87th-minute winner past Jens Lehmann.
