8 Classic Man Utd/Newcastle Old Trafford Encounters

4. Manchester United 2-0 Newcastle United, December 27th 1995 (Premier League)

Little more than two years later and Andy Cole was scoring at Old Trafford in a Manchester United vs Newcastle United encounter once more - but this time for the opposite side. Cole (pictured above, but not in the same match) opened the scoring after just six minutes of the game and, although the Magpies had several chances in front of the Red Devils' goal, they were unable to find the back of the net and Roy Keane ensured all three points would stay in Manchester. This loss over the festive period proved crucial in costing Newcastle the title, with the Magpies blowing a 12-point lead to be pipped by Alex Ferguson's Man Utd.
