Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd
FA Cup fifth round – February 2006
Peter Crouch directed a Steve Finnan cross into the bottom right-hand corner of Edwin van der Sar's net on 18 minutes to leave the Mancs with just the League Cup to play for. Afterwards Alex Ferguson suggested Rafa's side produced just five minutes of football - in reality the Reds overpowered his limp midfield and thoroughly deserved their first FA Cup win over United in 85 years.
I blogged on that victory here last year. And what a sweet victory it was. And we shall carry that victory of ours in mind when we play them again this weekend. Here's more titbits to munch as we await the clash;
• Last week against Sheffield United, Liverpool set a new club record of nine consecutive clean sheets in league games at Anfield. They had achieved eight on five previous occasions including last season.
• Liverpool, United and Chelsea have all conceded 19 goals this season – the best record in the Premiership.

Ya Wilson, whichever way you were right. Man U. won without knowing how to play proper football. The strategy of Rafa Benitez was so good, it rendered the entire Man U team dysfunctional. It was a total lock down of Rooney & Giggs. They had no room to move and hence didn't know how and was made useless. Only Cristiano Ronaldo through his creative play-making managed to play some football. Good match, good strategic play Liverpool, but it's the team that scores that wins.
