Top 5 Manchester United vs Arsenal Premier League matches at Old Trafford

1. Manchester United 2-0 Arsenal – October 24, 2004

The day United ended Arsenal’s 49-game unbeaten run, but this game’s result tells only a fraction of the story that day, later to be known as the Battle of the Buffet.

Two second-half goals from Ruud van Nistelrooy and Wayne Rooney sealed the points for the Red Devils during a fiercely contested match at Old Trafford.

As the players, coaching staff and officials made their way down the tunnel after the final whistle, a scuffle broke out which resulted in United boss Ferguson being pelted with a slice of pizza from the Gunners’ dressing room.

The identity of the culprit remained a mystery for more than a decade, before Cesc Fabregas revealed in 2017 that he threw the pizza.
