8. Man United 3-0 Liverpool, 2008
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcLBvILzvkM It was a scintillating display of panache, pace and guile that outclassed their north-west rivals, and strengthened their strange-hold on the Premier League title. Games between Manchester United and Liverpool are usually always close, such is the intensity and passion that exists when these two meet. However, in March 2008, it was anything but, when Man United tore Liverpool apart 3-0, with Javier Mascheranos sending off before half-time leaving his side in the lurch. Wes Brown had put the champions-elect ahead, turning in a Wayne Rooney cross, before Mascherano received his marching orders for dissent. Man United dominated the rest of the game, and wrapped up the three points with 11 minutes remaining, Cristiano Ronaldo rising highest to head home Uniteds second, before Nani slammed home a long-range pile-driver.
''It was a really good performance - a performance of maturity. Weve seen a team mature over the last six months and today they hit their high peak. - Sir Alex Ferguson, March 2008.
It was a victory that left United five points clear at the top, and Liverpool supporters staring at yet another defeat at the hands of their fiercest and bitterest rivals.
