This game was a massive turning point in 2008/09 title run-in. Just when Spurs thought they were cruising with a two-goal lead, a controversial penalty in favour of United reduced the deficit to half.

After Cristiano Ronaldo had converted the penalty, Wayne Rooney levelled the score, then immediately crossed for Ronaldo to head a third. Finally, both Rooney and Berbatov struck again which took United towards an 18th league title.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
