The Reds host Spurs for the 100th time | Manchester United

by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

BUNDLE OF FIVE

Our greatest victory is the 5-0 inflicted in the first league meeting, at Bank Street on 22 January 1909/10, with goals from Edward Connor, Arthur Hooper, Billy Meredith and two from Charlie Roberts.

It’s one of three occasions where United have scored five goals.

The others are a 5-1 success on 18 December 1965 (Charlton, Law 2, Beal og, Herd) and the remarkable 5-2 triumph on 25 April 2008/09, when the Reds overcame a 2-0 deficit at the half-time to stay three points clear of Liverpool en route to that record 18th title.

Spurs were swept away by four goals in just 14 minutes, with two goals apiece for Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney. Ex-Spur Dimitar Berbatov stirred the knife in the wound by scoring a fifth goal.
