Manchester United vs Tottenham: Iconic moments from past fixtures at Old Trafford

Mark Clattenburg's nightmare moment

Roy Carroll trying to save Pedro Mendes' lob

13 years ago, Tottenham looked to have sealed a memorable victory, as Pedro Mendes' lob caught out Roy Carroll in the dying moments of the game. The ball had clearly crossed the line and Spurs' looked to have started 2005 with a win against Manchester United. Mark Clattenburg and his assistant on the far side failed to spot the ball crossing the line and ruled the goal out.

Gabriel Heinze nearly added salt to the wounds of Spurs' fans but Paul Robinson denied the Argentine with a brilliant save from the free-kick. After the game, many discussed the need for goal-line technology including the former FIFA president Sepp Blatter. The issue, however, remained unresolved for several years afterwards until the 2013/14 Premier League campaign, when it was finally introduced.

Tottenham endured further disappointment that season, as they finished a lowly ninth, missing out on all of the European spots.
