1995: Manchester United 9-0 Ipswich Town

Andrew Cole became the first player to score five goals in a Premier League match as Manchester United beat Ipswich Town 9-0.

The win at Old Trafford remains the biggest in the Premier League era.

Cole’s goals were joined by strikes from Roy Keane, Paul Ince and a Mark Hughes double.

The win kept United second on 66 points, still three behind leaders Blackburn Rovers. The defeat left Ipswich in 21st on 23 points.

1996: Newcastle United 0-1 Manchester United

An Eric Cantona goal for Manchester United ended Newcastle United’s 100 per cent home record in the Premier League top-of-the-table clash.  

Newcastle’s seemingly unassailable 12-point lead in February had gradually been whittled down to four by the time Manchester United came to play Newcastle.

A win for Newcastle could have re-established a large gap between the two. But, Cantona's strike, six minutes into the second half, brought Manchester United to within one point of Kevin Keegan's leaders.
