5 Premier League classics you may have forgotten

#1 Nottingham Forest 1–8 Manchester United (06/02/1999)

Solskjaer put Forest to the sword with four goals

The games on our list so far have all actually been fairly close-fought affairs. Unfortunately for Nottingham Forest, Manchester United weren't in the mood for a close encounter on this winter's day in 1999.

The game didn't always look like the formality it turned out to be. Nottingham Forest responded well to Dwight Yorke's second-minute opener and pulled level almost immediately.

However, United showed their ruthlessness just one minute later as Andy Cole put the Red Devils ahead once again, just seconds later. From then on, there was no looking back. Cole and Yorke bagged two goals each and super-sub Ole Gunnar Solskjaer really rubbed salt into the wounds for Nottingham Forrest, with a remarkable four-goal haul in the final 10 minutes of the game.

This game really is a testament to how dominant Manchester United were at this time. To score eight goals in any game is impressive, but to score eight in a league game, away from home is almost unheard of.
