Manchester United were three goals down at halftime. Your best guess, United completed a memorable 5-3 comeback win. United’s defense was nothing to write about especially on the road in the early part of the season, so it came as no surprise when they were three goals down at the break.

Outscoring the opponent was the theme and so it was in the second half when the hosts were stunned in an unforeseeable fashion. Andy Cole quickly welcomed the second half with a goal and Laurent Blanc made two with a header. Van Nistelrooy equalized and United went on a rampage. Veron and Beckham scored the fourth and fifth United goals and an epic turnaround was complete.
