7 GREAT MAN UTD v TOTTENHAM GAMES
Daily Star
|May 21, 2025
MANCHESTER UNITED and Tottenham fixtures have provided plenty of entertainment over the years.
Goals have never been far away, even if they have not always been given! Here's some of the most memorable clashes between the two Premier League heavyweights.
MAN UTD 3-3 TOTTENHAM, DECEMBER 7, 1986
A GAME full of brilliant goals and slapstick defending.
United went 2-0 up thanks to Norman Whiteside and Peter Davenport as Alex Ferguson got to grips with his side, just a month into his Old Trafford tenure.
Gary Mabbutt's diving header, a calamitous Kevin Moran own goal and a Clive Allen strike flipped the match on its head.
But Fergie Time was already alive. Davenport's last-minute penalty after Bryan Robson was bundled over by Danny Thomas rescued United - and Ferguson.
MAN UTD 2-1 TOTTENHAM, MAY 16, 1999
MANCHESTER UNITED knew a win would seal the Premiership title and give them the first trophy in their quest for the Treble.
But Les Ferdinand's early goal had home fans quivering on a nerve-shredding final day.
