Ahead of Saturday's encounter between Manchester City and Newcastle United we recall a six-goal classic between the two sides.

The year is 1996, Newcastle are six points clear at the top of the Premier League and they have just signed Faustino Asprilla to boost their title push.

What ensued was a goalfest at Maine Road between Kevin Keegan's "Entertainers" and Alan Ball's 18th-placed Man City.
