Goal Of The Day: Michael Owen's Dramatic Late Derby Winner

Goal Of The Day: Michael Owen's Dramatic Late Derby Winner

There's always drama when the Manchester derby rolls around - with tonight's game set to offer more, even if it is a EFL Cup game and not the glamour of a Premier League meeting.

When thinking of the most dramatic derby day moment, there's only one that comes to mind.

Back in September 2009, United and City played out a memorable seven goal thriller at Old Trafford. Wayne Rooney gave United an early lead before Gareth Barry equalised after a Ben Foster error. Darren Fletcher and Craig Bellamy then bagged a brace each, with the two sides set to share the spoils.

However that's not quite what happened. Michael Owen, on as a substitute, popped up in the 23rd minute of injury time to send Old Trafford into raptures and give Sir Alex Ferguson yet another derby day win.

Owen had terrorised United on a number of occasions when playing for Liverpool but he certainly became a hit with the United faithful with this late winner.

Here's the goal in a number of different angles for your viewing pleasure.


Gary Neville certainly enjoyed celebrating that one.
