Admittedly, it was the Frenchman who headed Arsenal into the lead after eight minutes, before Ryan Giggs levelled proceedings. And in a fiery encounter, it was the hosts who led at the break, courtesy of Denis Bergkamp’s strike on 36 minutes. Yet, in the second period, United ran riot. First a Cristiano Ronaldo brace reversed Arsenal’s lead and then, after Mikael Silvestre had seen red, John O’Shea provided the most delightful – and surprising – of endings by chipping home a late fourth for United.

SPURS 0 UNITED 4 (2006/07)

A crucial match on the run-in to a first title in four seasons, Cristiano Ronaldo set us on our way in this one with a nerveless first-half penalty, after being fouled by Steed Malbranque. In the second half, Nemanja Vidic, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs stretched our lead and, with it, our advantage over Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea at the top of the table. The really memorable moment of the afternoon arrived, however, as the game looked to be idling towards a muted finish. With Edwin van der Sar unable to continue due to a broken nose, and United’s subs all used up, John O’Shea stepped in for a brief cameo in goal. Impressively, Mr Versatile successfully repelled the home side for the remainder of the match, as the away fans humorously chanted, ‘Ireland’s Number One’.
