#7 United’s undoing (2004)
Trending
By March 2004, City had moved into their new City of Manchester Stadium and they were ready to host their rivals for the first time. Even though United was in a battle with Arsenal for the top spot and City were barely holding themselves above the relegation zone, the conclusion to the night was very unexpected.
City must have been in a celebratory mood as they pulled off a 4-1 victory over their rivals.
Robbie Fowler netted the first goal of the night as early as the third minute. The second goal also went City’s way after Jon Macken found the back of the net with a volley.
While a goal by Paul Scholes from 20 yards out might have given United supporters some hope, a second half goal each from Trevor Sinclair and Shaun Wright-Phillips ensured United were done for the night.
