8) Andy Cole for Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspurs, ‘98-99 Season
Trending
One of the other interesting last-day finishes to the Premier League season came in 1999, when Manchester United and Arsenal were separated by a margin of a sole point. Arsenal were to play Aston Villa at home, while United played host to the Gunners’ north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Against the run of play, Spurs scored the opener after 24 minutes via Les Ferdinand, spurring United into action. David Beckham scored their first goal late in the first half after an elaborate move involving Scholes and Giggs.
The stage was set in the second half for someone to take charge of the situation, and Andy Cole, subbed on for Teddy Sheringham, duly did the honours.
