5 Memorable Manchester Derby Matches

#1 Manchester United 4-3 Manchester City (September 20, 2009)

Michael Owen scores Manchester United's winner deep into injury time

Michael Owen's famous winner deep into stoppage time gave Manchester United a dramatic victory in the greatest derby encounter of them all.

Owen, on as a substitute for Dimitar Berbatov, pounced in trademark fashion to beat Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given to provoke scenes of frenzy at Old Trafford.

Former United star and then City boss, Mark Hughes was livid and demanded to know how the decisive goal could come six minutes into the reported four minutes of stoppage time. This Owen finish, provoked clarification of the law from that point on, as the given stoppage time was prefixed with "a minimum" instruction

Craig Bellamy looked to have earned City an unlikely point as they came from behind for the third time to level only seconds before the end of the 90 minutes.

This game had everything apart from quality defending.

Wayne Rooney put United ahead inside two minutes but any chance of a straightforward victory was extinguished moments later when former United forward, Carlos Tevez assisted Gareth Barry to score the equaliser.

Darren Fletcher restored United's lead with a header just after the break but it was Bellamy who scored his first goal of the game with a stunning 25-yard strike to make the scores 2-2.

Fletcher popped up again on 80 minutes to make the score 3-2 before the dramatic late show which capped the greatest derby encounter of them all.
