2007: Portsmouth 2-1 Manchester United

Portsmouth blew the Premier League title race wide open as they beat Manchester United at Fratton Park.

The PL leaders fell behind when Edwin van der Sar could only parry Benjani’s shot into the path of Matthew Taylor.

Rio Ferdinand then scored an own goal before a stoppage-time strike from United's John O'Shea ensured a nervy finish.

In the final moments, Pompey goalkeeper David James saved superbly from substitute Alan Smith, leaving United only three points above second-placed Chelsea. Portsmouth climbed to eighth.
