This was one rivalry that went overboard at the early 2000s. Players were always loggerhead –take Viera and Keane for example and Arsenal’s renaissance meant the two managers were also at each other’s throats.
Arsenal had gone unbeaten the previous season. Unbeaten in the league and were on a 49 match unbeaten run, amazing isn’t it? It was a feisty affair, Arsenal lead twice in the game and despite United having to play with 10 men for the last 21 minutes after Mikael Silvestre was sent off. A brace from the relatively young Cristiano Ronaldo and a deft finish from John O’Shea saw United end their rivals’ majestic unbeaten run.
