TEN OF THE BEST: UTD V ARSENAL Arsenal 4-5 Man Utd (Feb 1, 1958) As their last game on English soil, this enthralling victory will forever be remembered as a fitting tribute to the 'Busby Babes', eight of whom died five days later in Munich. Arsenal 4-0 Man Utd (Aug 22, 1970) A John Radford hat-trick sealed this crushing win at Highbury, launching Arsenal's assault on their first League and FA Cup double. Wonder goal: Ryan Giggs rounds off a splendid run with the winning goal in the 1999 FA Cup semi-final replay Arsenal 3-2 Man Utd (FA Cup final, 1979) In what was termed the 'Five Minute Final', Arsenal watched United claw back a two-goal deficit in the final minutes, but were saved by a dramatic winner from Alan Sunderland, virtually the last kick of the match. Man Utd 0-1 Arsenal (Oct 20, 1990) Previous animosity came to a head as an altercation beween Winterburn and McClair spiralled into a free-for-all. Just "handbags at dawn" claimed Ferguson, but the FA disagreed, docking Arsenal two points and United one. Man Utd 6-2 Arsenal (Nov 28, 1990, Rumbelows Cup, 4th rd) Less controversial than their last meeting, but more significant, the United goal-fest - including a hat-trick from Lee Sharpe - marked the arrival of United's dominance under Ferguson. Arsenal 2-2 Man Utd (Mar 22, 1994) In another highly-charged tussle, Eric Cantona was sent off for the second time in three days, only to return from suspension in inspired form to guide United to their first Double. Arsenal 3-2 Man Utd (Nov 9, 1997) Arsenal seized the initiative in this Highbury thriller, leading 2-0 at the interval.

Man Utd 2-1 Arsenal (April 14, 1999, FA Cup semi-final replay) Treble-chasing United faced double-chasing Arsenal.

Man Utd 6-1 Arsenal (Feb 25, 2001) "Everything went wrong," Wenger reflected. Even with the Frenchman's notoriously selective vision, there was no hiding from the truth.

Man Utd 0-1 Arsenal (May 8, 2002) Arsenal went to Old Trafford looking for a re-run of their 1998 title-clinching victory.
