Manchester United v Manchester City - Premier League
Ronaldo and Tevez

This goal from the boot of Carlos Tevez wasn't just a delight to watch, but a hugely important goal too. On New Year's day, 2008, Birmingham visited Manchester United. The hosts were trailing Arsenal in the league and needed to keep winning to stay in the hunt for the title. United did eventually manage to win the game by a goal to nil, thanks to an example of sublime brilliance involving Ronaldo and Tevez.

Tevez did brilliantly to find Ronaldo with an overhead kick, and the Portuguese international duly returned the favour with a piece of magic of his own - a perfectly attempted back-heel pass to set Tevez through on goal, who scored the winner. It proved to be a massive strike as United pipped Arsenal to win the title in May.
