#8 Owen’s moment of glory for United (2009)
Trending
Sir Alex Ferguson himself called the Manchester derby played on 20 September 2009 "probably ... the best derby of all time". Fergie had very good reason to think so. It was a thrilling match where both teams stayed on par with each other the whole game.
Neither team was willing to give up without a fight, so when the match was at 3-3 inside injury time, it seemed like a worthy end. But Michael Owen wasn’t going to have it.
Wayne Rooney gave United an early lead which was neutralised by Gareth Barry’s goal. Thereafter, both Darren Fletcher and Craig Bellamy scored two each for their respective teams.
But it was Owen who was the hero of the night, for United supporters at least. He scored the winning goal in the 96th minute, clinching a memorable last minute win for the Red Devils.
