Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United: Five classic clashes


Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester United in one of the great Premier League fixtures this weekend.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s side have unsurprisingly dominated the fixture in more recent times, with Spurs a regular victim of the Red Devils on the way to their 12 titles in the modern era.
However, Andre Villas-Boas managed to turn the tables at Old Trafford in September, with the perennial underdogs securing a famous 3-2 victory.
The former Chelsea boss will be looking to repeat the trick at White Hart Lane, but doesn't have to look too far back to know that things won't be easy.
 
And, in honour of the big match, we've picked five of the best clashes between the two teams in recent times. Let us know which match is your favourite...
Tottenham Hotspur 3-5 Manchester United
29/09/01; White Hart Lane; Premier League
Sir Alex Ferguson’s side produced one of the greatest comebacks in Premier League history, turning round a three-goal deficit in the second-half with a five-goal salvo.
Dean Richards made a great start to life at Spurs with an early goal, before Les Ferdinand and Christian Ziege appeared to put the hosts out of sight.
However, Andy Cole, Laurent Blanc, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Juan Sebastian Veron and David Beckham turned things around in stunning fashion to leave White Hart Lane silent.
