#3 2008-09 5-2, Tottenham
And it is Tottenham, yet again. Darren Bent and Luka Modric gave Spurs a two-goal lead but United were unfazed by the challenge. United responded in stunning fashion with five goals.
Cristiano Ronaldo had become a household name after becoming the world’s best footballer. He scored the first with a penalty after Carrick was adjudged to have been brought down by Gomes.
Rooney scored the second before Ronaldo added his second of the night. It was four goals in 14 second-half minutes for United with another goal from Rooney making it 4-2 before old boy Dimitar Berbatov sealed the win and the game was done and dusted.
