Top 10 Goals Man Utd vs Arsenal...!!

Sebelum big match malam isnin besok,ni ada kompilasi gol2 antara Man Utd vs Arsenal yg dapat aku cari kat website (thanx to goal.com). So enjoy the great goal..
10 Samir Nasri, Emirates, November 8 2008(Arsenal 2-1 Man Utd)

The possession football created by Arsenal's intricate passing game has been criticised by some as pretty but punch-less; yet when Samir Nasri speared the ball past Edwin van der Sar from the edge of the area it was the consummate team goal: the culmination of a mesmeric 16-pass move in which United chased shadows as the point of the attack was repeatedly switched. Cesc Fabregas supplied the final pass as Theo Walcott's run took Nemanja Vidic away from the centre and Nasri's own run set him up perfectly for the decisive strike. It was the Frenchman's second of the contest and proved the matchwinner as Arsenal halted a three-game winless streak with panache.  To view the clip click here..

9 Ian Wright, Wembley, August 7 1993 (1-1, Man Utd won 5-4 on penalties) 


The Red Devils had just ended a 26-year wait to become champions by winning the inaugural Premier League title. Arsenal had just become the first club to win England's two major domestic cups in the same season. This Charity Shield curtain-raiser in the Wembley sunshine was further illuminated when Ryan Giggs lobbed a misplaced pass infield and Paul Davis nodded the ball towards the predatory Ian Wright on the edge of the box. Wright instantly hooked a ferocious half-volley beyond a startled Peter Schmeichel for the Gunners' equaliser. To view the clip click here..

8 Patrick Vieira, Highbury, November 9 1997
 (Arsenal 3-2 Man Utd)


United were hunting a third successive title when they visited North London; but Arsenal, in Arsene Wenger's first full season, would come thrillingly from behind to overtake them in the spring. This game, which featured three outstanding Arsenal goals, helped crystallise belief at Highbury. The pick of the bunch was Patrick Vieira's unstoppable effort. Ray Parlour's corner was headed clear at the near post by Henning Berg, but only as far as the 18-yard line, where Vieira, without breaking stride, hammered it over Schmeichel and in off the underside of the bar. His celebratory slide ironically ruled him out until Boxing Day with a knee injury. To view the clip click here..

7 Cristiano Ronaldo, Emirates, May 5 2009
 (Arsenal 1-3 Man Utd)


When United and Arsenal were paired in the Champions League semi-final, Sir Alex Ferguson's side underlined their superiority, winning 1-0 at Old Trafford before eclipsing the Gunners in London. Men against babes, Patrice Evra called it. Cristiano Ronaldo had already scored United's second with a sublime free kick before putting the tie beyond Arsenal, supplying the finishing touch to this breathtaking counter-attack which he himself launched with a slick back-heel to Ji-Sung Park, who carried it forward with a precision pass to Wayne Rooney, who set up Ronaldo to complete the job in high style. Within a mere 12 seconds United had moved the ball incisively from their own penalty area to the back of Arsenal's net. To view the clip click here..

6 Freddie Ljungberg, Highbury Nov 25 2001
 (Arsenal 3-1 Man Utd)


Arsenal had been runners-up to United three seasons on the trot, and been hammered 6-1 away in their last meeting, so when Paul Scholes gave the Red Devils an early lead at Highbury, it seemed like business as usual. But Freddie Ljungberg, a frequent thorn in United's side, turned the tide with a moment of sublime technique. Robert Pires intercepted Gary Neville’s lax pass and set off downfield. When Kanu drew two United defenders into the middle, Pires picked out Ljungberg on the right. The Swede took one touch with his right foot before deftly lofting the ball over Fabien Barthez from the edge of the area. Barthez later dropped two clangers as Arsenal took a key step towards another Double. To view the clip click here..

5 Thierry Henry, Highbury, Mar 28 2004
 (Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd)


United would later beat Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final, but in the league the Gunners were invincible, and when the two clashed at Highbury, Wenger's side set a new record: 30 games unbeaten from the start of a season. In this typically high-octane contest, the deadlock was broken shortly after the break when Thierry Henry swapped passes with Jose Antonio Reyes some 25 yards out. There seemed little immediate danger to United until Henry unleashed a textbook drive of awesome power and venomous swerve that rocketed into the roof of Roy Carroll's net. United's persistence earned them a late equaliser from Louis Saha. To view the video click here..

4 Wayne Rooney, Emirates,
 Jan 31 2010 (Arsenal 1-3 Man Utd)


If United have identified and exploited an Arsenal weakness in recent meetings it's the Gunners' vulnerability to a swift counter-attack. Springing from defence to attack with lightning speed, they sliced through Arsenal's defences like the proverbial knife through butter with a superb goal memorable for the sheer commitment and lung-busting energy of Rooney, who sprinted from box to box to ensure he was in the right place to meet Nani's perfect pass - after the Portuguese winger's own surging run in possession - and sweep it in his majestic stride across Manuel Almunia into the Arsenal net.

3 David Rocastle, Old Trafford, Oct 19 1991 (Man Utd 1-1 Arsenal)

'Rocky' had been a somewhat peripheral figure when Arsenal won the title in 1990-91, but the following season he was back to his best, and his strike at Old Trafford showcased his tenacity, control and technique from central midfield. Rocastle beat Neil Webb to a loose ball in the centre circle and took it forward, using his strength to shrug off Paul Ince's robust challenge before leaving Bryan Robson in his wake with some clever footwork. Looking up and spying Schmeichel a little way off his line, Rocastle caressed a delicate chip over the keeper from fully 25 yards. The ball hit the underside of the bar and bounced in off Schmeichel's back, but Rocastle deserved that bit of luck for his virtuosity. To view the clip click here..

2 Ryan Giggs, Villa Park, April 14 1999 
(Man Utd 2-1 Arsenal aet)

In the last ever FA Cup semi-final replay, Ryan Giggs scored one of that venerable competition's most memorable goals - setting United on the glorious last lap of an unprecedented treble. It was a goal worthy of deciding a gem of a match that had everything. David Beckham had put Ferguson’s side ahead early on with a superb shot before Dennis Bergkamp equalised. Nicolas Anelka had a goal disallowed for offside before Roy Keane was sent-off. In injury-time, Parlour was fouled by Phil Neville in the box, only for Bergkamp's penalty to be brilliantly saved by Schmeichel. Then in the second period of extra-time, Giggs intercepted a misplaced Vieira pass and set off on a dazzling dribble, beating defender after defender before lashing the ball into the roof of David Seaman’s net from a rapidly narrowing angle.

1 Thierry Henry, Highbury, October 1 2000
 (Arsenal 1-0 Man Utd)

For sheer improvisational brilliance, Henry's effort takes the crown. It was conjured out of virtually nothing when, 30 minutes into a close contest, Gilles Grimandi played a ball into Henry's feet with the Frenchman a good 20 yards out, facing his own goal and with Denis Irwin on his shoulder looking to challenge. Holding off his marker, Henry produced a moment of seamless fluidity, flicking the ball up, pirouetting and hitting a sensational volley that soared then dipped over Barthez into the net.

But different people have a different view and its up to the author to select which goal is the best..so what do u guys think??
