Five Old Trafford classics between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur 

#3 ManUtd 3-3 Tottenham: 7 December 1986

Brilliant goals, solid defending and a 90 midcap minutes left the observers grasping for more after the game. They had witnessed one of the greatest games at Old Trafford. Norman Whiteside brilliantly-plotted free-kick opened the scoring for United followed by a Peter Davenport goal which established a two-goal lead for the hosts heading into the interval.

Alex Ferguson was just a month into his Old Trafford tenure and the second half gave him one long, nightmarish experience.

Gary Mabbutt’s diving header and a calamitous Kevin Moran own-goal levelled the scores before Clive Allen put Spurs ahead. But the final twist came when Bryan Robson was bundled over by Danny Thomas inside the penalty box which gave Davenport the chance to convert a last-minute penalty to ensure that the match ended level at three apiece.
