Default Re: [EPL] Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United


SIX OF UNITED'S BEST WEMBLEY GOALS

Manchester United face the unusual circumstance of playing a Premier League game at Wembley for the first time, when facing Tottenham Hotspur there on Wednesday evening.


The Reds will make the trip to the national stadium, Spurs' temporary home, with the aim of completing the double over Mauricio Pochettino's side after an important 1-0 win at Old Trafford back in October.

The match also represents a milestone for United, who will play at Wembley for the 50th time. The club's record to date stands at 22 wins, 12 draws and 15 defeats, with 73 goals scored and 55 conceded in the process.

To mark the occasion, we've delved into the archives and picked out six of the best goals the Reds have netted at the iconic venue in the last 30 years. Read all about them below and watch them for yourself in the video player above…

MARK HUGHES | United 1 Oldham Athletic 1 (after extra time) | 1994 FA Cup semi-final
United fans of a certain age were accustomed to seeing an unstoppable shot from Sparky and the Welshman produced a spectacular one at the national stadium to break Oldham’s hearts deep into extra time in a dramatic FA Cup last-four clash. As the Reds desperately laid siege to the Latics goal, the striker got on the end of Brian McClair’s hooked ball into the box, outmuscled two defenders and unleashed a stunning dipping volley to level the tie. It set up an intriguing replay at Manchester City’s Maine Road three days later when the Reds turned on the style to beat Joe Royle’s side 4-1 and progress to another final.

ERIC CANTONA | United 1 Liverpool 0 | 1996 FA Cup final
A bit of magic from King Eric in the 85th minute proved decisive against the club's fierce rivals from Merseyside and secured United’s third FA Cup triumph under Sir Alex Ferguson. After David Beckham’s corner was punched away by Liverpool keeper David James only to the edge of the box, the Frenchman saw his opportunity and somehow hopped backwards into a shooting position before striking a powerful right-footed volley which flew into the net.

TEDDY SHERINGHAM | United 2 Newcastle 0 | 1999 FA Cup final
An FA Cup triumph was sandwiched in between claiming the league title and lifting the Champions League trophy as part of an unprecedented Treble for the Reds in 1998/99. The second part of the historic achievement was secured by virtue of a dominant win over the Magpies, with Sheringham setting the team on the way to glory with a sublime strike after 11 minutes. Just 90 seconds after coming on for injured captain Roy Keane, the no.10 was picked out by a precisely weighted ball from Paul Scholes and he drifted into the box before rifling an unstoppable low drive under keeper Steve Harper. Sheringham then capped a Man of the Match display by returning the compliment for Scholes, teeing up the midfielder to drill home the clinching goal early in the second half.

ANTHONY MARTIAL | United 2 Everton 1 | 2016 FA Cup semi-final
Having announced his arrival at Old Trafford with a memorable debut goal against Liverpool, the Frenchman further demonstrated his immense quality at the expense of their neighbours Everton. His stunning finish later in the same season sent the Reds to a first FA Cup final since 2007. With the semi-final locked level at 1-1 and extra-time looming, Martial stepped up when it mattered to fire in a 93rd-minute winner. After linking up with Ander Herrera, the forward took the ball in his stride, advanced into the box and coolly stroked the ball into the corner of the net from 15 yards to send the United fans at that end of Wembley into delirium.

JESSE LINGARD | United 2 Crystal Palace 1 | 2016 FA Cup final

Another FA Cup final, another scorching strike. With the score poised at 1-1 against Palace deep into extra time, Lingard popped up with a moment to savour to settle matters in United’s favour. Antonio Valencia’s low cross was cleared by a defender before Martial could reach it and the ball popped up to the edge of the box where Jesse instinctively smashed an unstoppable volley past Wayne Hennessey into the top corner.

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC | United 3 Southampton 2 | 2017 EFL Cup final
Last but by no means least is another trophy-winning goal from the Reds' last Wembley visit. With the scoreboard showing 2-2 and the prospect of an additional half-hour to be played, Jose Mourinho's men broke forward in the 87th minute with Herrera eventually supplying an inch-perfect cross for Ibrahimovic. The Swede did the rest, heading the ball emphatically beyond Fraser Forster to seal a fifth League Cup triumph for United amid jubilant scenes once again at Wembley.
