BLACKPOOL 2 UNITED 3 (2010/11)
United were made to work for a hard-fought victory on the North-West coast, with Holloway’s side racing into a two-goal lead during the first half at Bloomfield Road. Craig Cathcart got the ball rolling after 15 minutes, nodding home emphatically to score his first for the club, before DJ Campbell flicked in a second shortly before the break. What ensued next is what some may refer to as one of the Reds’ greatest ever comebacks, with all three goals scored inside the final 15 minutes. First, Dimitar Berbatov smashed home Darren Fletcher’s cross to hand Sir Alex Ferguson’s side a lifeline, before Javier Hernandez came off the bench to level the game, smashing past Richard Kingson. The comeback was complete when Berbatov lashed home the winner with two minutes to play, securing a vital victory on the way to the title that very year.
