| Eric Cantona puts United ahead |
The games were starting to come thick and fast as the 1995/96 season entered its final stretch.
New English champions Tottenham Hotspur had no time to savour their victory as they were soon back in action at Old Trafford against title chasing Manchester United.
Much is made of United's 'kids' this season but the man who really inspired them in this Double winning season was the controversial Frenchman in the upturned collar, Eric Cantona. Arguably the best player in Premier League history, Cantona had the uncanny knack of always being in the right place at the right time for United.
It was Cantona who was the difference maker once more for United on this day. A few minutes into the second half, Cantona took the ball near the halfway line, ran towards the Tottenham goal, made space for himself on the edge of the box before placing the ball into the bottom right corner of the Spurs net.
The first Unofficial Champions had reclaimed their crown after three years away.
