"They then won the title, just."

"I think that goal won them the treble because if [Dennis] Bergkamp scores [late penalty], the game is over. It was a trauma for us in a negative way and for them a lift in a positive way.

"Bergkamp never wanted to take a penalty again, and it put them on the road towards success."
