Michael Owen capped off one of the most memorable Manchester derbies in history when his 96th-minute secured a 4-3 win for Manchester United over City.
The year was 2009, with City still in the early days of their Abu Dhabi United Group reign.
Success didn’t come immediately under new ownership, with Mark Hughes’ side restricted to a 10th-place finish in the 2008/09 season.
But the following season felt different at first. City spent big that summer, and went into the clash at Old Trafford on September 20 having won each of their opening four Premier League games.

The tide turned throughout the match, with City equalising three times - the latter of those equalisers arriving on 90 minutes.
But Owen would have his say in the most decisive of manners, netting a dramatic stoppage time strike to seal the victory for United.
It was arguably a defining moment in the season for the losing side, who won just three games between then and December 19, before recovering to finish the season in fifth under Roberto Mancini, who replaced Hughes in December.
Below, we've put together a SPORTbible quiz to test your knowledge of that infamous 4-3 victory for United.
