#3 Liverpool 3-3 Manchester United (1993-94)

Neil Ruddock Scores
Neil Ruddock was the hero as Liverpool staged a massive comeback at home against their arch-rivals Manchester United

The rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool is perhaps one of the most brutal yet entertaining one in the history of the game. The once mighty Reds had found the going tough since the inception of the Premier League and when they hosted Manchester United in January of 1994, it was all about pride for the Reds.

While Manchester United looked set to retain their league title, the Reds were out of contention and given the way the game panned out in the first half, you could be forgiven to believe that the Reds had lost their charm.

The Red Devils went into the break with a massive lead of three goals through strikes from their captain Steve Bruce, Ryan Giggs and Dennis Irwin. Liverpool looked well out of the game at half-time but the equation changed quickly when Nigel Clough managed to claw one back for the Reds in the 2nd half, giving them something to fight for. The momentum was on their side and the Reds were soon rewarded for their efforts when Nigel Clough scored his 2nd of the evening.

But the work was not done yet as the Reds still needed a goal to take something from the game with time running out. When Neil Ruddock scored via a thunderous header with 11 minutes left for the game to end, the home crowd erupted, for not only had they avoided a defeat to their arch-rivals, they had done so in emphatic style.
