MANCHESTER UNITED 2 ARSENAL 1 (FA Cup semi-final, April 1999)
The last ever FA Cup semi-final replay conjured up one of the most memorable games in the competition’s history. On a night of nerve-jangling drama at Villa Park, Dennis Bergkamp cancelled out David Beckham’s long-range opener and the tie appeared to be tipping in Arsenal’s favour after United captain Roy Keane was sent off. However, in extra time Patrick Vieira gave the ball away to Ryan Giggs and the Welshman scythed through the Arsenal defence before smashing a shot past David Seaman to score one of the great FA Cup goals and keep United on track for The Treble.
