DATE: 21 April, 2001
OCCASION: Premier League fixture
SIGNIFICANCE: Four years earlier, Roy Keane had fallen awkwardly trying to trip Leeds’ Alfie Haaland. His cruciate ligaments were damaged, but as he writhed on the turf, the Norwegian midfielder vociferously accused him of being a faker… and Keane was booked as he was stretchered off.
SCORE: Manchester United 1-1 Manchester City
SCORERS: UNITED: Sheringham (71 pen); CITY: Howey (84)
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT: Keane later wrote in his autobiography that he had 'waited long enough for revenge', deliberately going for Haaland’s kneecap with a sickening yard-high stamp. The attack earned Keane a straight red, his vicious outburst in print a further five-match ban and £150,000 fine. Man U ended up as champs; City were relegated
