MANCHESTER UNITED 0 ARSENAL 1 (First Division, October 1990)
The enmity that developed between the teams in the 1990s and 2000s can be traced back to this fiery encounter at Old Trafford. A 21-man brawl sparked by a foul on United’s Denis Irwin by Arsenal left-back Nigel Winterburn saw the visitors deducted two points and the home side one. The game’s only goal, which became something of a sidenote, was scored by Arsenal’s Swedish winger Anders Limpar.
