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

Nani's bizarre goal

Nani running off in celebration as Gomes protests

Would it be a Manchester United-Tottenham game without a controversial decision? Manchester United were leading one-nil as the game entered the latter stages of the second half. Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes put the ball down for what looked like a free-kick which would have allowed Spurs to mount a possible attack in search of an equaliser.

Luis Nani, however, had other ideas, as he ran up to the ball and slotted it past a bemused Gomes. The Portuguese winger looked to have scored an illegal goal, just as the Tottenham keeper went to kick the ball. Replays proved that referee Mark Clattenburg had indeed waved play on; something the Brazilian stopper failed to realise. Nani's unusual goal sealed the victory for Manchester United and left Spurs fans looking at another moment of injustice for their side.

Manchester United eventually went on to lift the league title that season, with this win proving crucial.
