#5 Tottenham Hotspur 3-5 Manchester United (2001-02)
If there was one emotion that was prevalent amongst the Manchester United faithful during the regime of Sir Alex Ferguson, it was that no game was lost until the final whistle had been blown. However, even the staunchest of Scot’s admirers could be forgiven for believing that the game was well out of their reach at half-time when the side travelled to the White Hart Lane in September 2001.

Spurs began the game very well when they took an early lead through Dean Richards. However, they were not entirely done as they soon turned into Manchester United’s worst nightmare as goals from Christian Ziege and Les Ferdinand meant that they went into the break with a 3 goal lead.
However, Manchester United, who had been thoroughly dominated by the home side in the first half, began the second half with renewed purpose. Even before the millions of football fans watching the game could realise, Manchester United made a very successful comeback through goals from Andy Cole, Laurent Blanc, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Sebastian Veron and David Beckham.
The game marked one of the most important results in the life of Sir Alex Fergusson as it reinstated his status as a manager who could change the course of a game in a matter of minutes.
