Since Manchester United and Liverpool prepare to renew their rivalry on Super Sunday, we take a trip down memory lane to revisit a number of those iconic matches of the traditional Premier League fixture…
“This game really needs fire, has to possess thunder. There has to be incident, although there might be draws. You cannot let these games ramble. Because of what was at stake, losing could not be considered, this sport felt somewhat different. Jealousy, driven by rivalry drove you.
“There was always something occurring, always a controversy, always great targets. It ended up being a match you would you never become excited about or look forward to since there was a lot at stake.”
“That is right up with all the biggest games of the season. You had good players on both sides that could do things regardless of how nicely you defended like this in matches, you always knew the game can turn.
“In case you could get a victory, whether it was at home or at Old Trafford, you knew it was a massive game to win. You always want to be the very best, and you have that competition and that I do not think it will change, if you’re so close to each other. We all state before the match that it has only three points, but all of us know it is not, there’s more competition than that.”
Eric Cantona revealed since he returned by a nine-month suspension against Liverpool on October 22, Manchester United precisely what they have been missing. The Frenchman setup Nicky Butt for its starting goal two minutes in his return also, after Robbie Fowler flipped the match on its head with goals either side of half-time, Cantona proved United’s saviour again, coolly turning a punishment before leaping up on the stanchion in one of the most iconic celebrations of their Premier League era.
As them humiliated to breathe manchester United have been awarded their rudest of awakenings. Even a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty looked to have put United on their way, however Fernando Torres tormented before Steven Gerrard put them from the penalty spot before the stroke of half-time Nemanja Vidic to get degree. And things went from Fabio Aurelio free-kick after Vidic has been disregarded, along with an Andrea Dossena lob secured a famous Liverpool victory.
A first-half header and a stunning finish from Dimitar Berbatov place Manchester United in Old Trafford into a deserved two-goal lead within an hour, however Liverpool was moved by two Steven Gerrard strikes at the space of six minutes to within touching distance of an improbable point. This was until Berbatov had the last word, as he became the first United participant to evaluate a hat-trick from Liverpool, going in a winner.
Arguably the smallest second of David Moyes’ ill-fated tenure at Old Trafford, Steven Gerrard scored two penalties and missed a third later Nemanja Vidic’s second-half dismissal, but Luis Suarez affirmed the absolute most comprehensive of victories late on as Liverpool set their sights on the title.
