MANCHESTER UNITED 2 ARSENAL 0 (Premier League, October 2004)
Arsenal’s record-breaking 49-game unbeaten run was brought to an end in dramatic and controversial style. A year on from a tempestuous 0-0 draw in Manchester, United prevailed through a contentious Ruud van Nistelrooy penalty and a late Wayne Rooney strike. A post-match melee in which United manager Alex Ferguson had a pizza thrown at him saw the game dubbed ‘The Battle of the Buffet’.
