1996: Manchester United 1-0 Liverpool

David Beckham scored the only goal as Manchester United beat rivals Liverpool 1-0 to knock them off the top of the table.

After Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was blocked off on the edge of the area, Beckham charged in to thunder a low right-footed strike in via the post in the 23rd minute.

Goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel denied both Stan Collymore and Patrick Berger to preserve the three points for the hosts.

United stayed fourth with 19 points, while Liverpool dropped two spots to third on 20 points, with Newcastle United and Arsenal moving above them.
