🔥Obafemi Martins' ROCKET🚀 | ⚽️

An absolute belter from Nigerian striker, Obafemi Martins, as he rifles a shot past Spurs' Paul Robinson, in a 3-2 win for the Magpies.

It's also a reminder that Martin Tyler & Andy Gray were streets ahead of any other commentary team.

This was a great era for Sky Sports and the Premier League.

🗣️"Are you going to QUIT⁉️" | 😱Man Utd 8-2 Arsenal | 📆15 Years On

It's 15 years to the day since a depleted Arsenal side were thrashed 8-2 at Old Trafford, following another poor transfer window for the Gunners.

Frenchmen, Samir Nasri & Gael Clichy, had both been sold to champions-elect Manchester City, and club captain, Cesc Fabregas, finally made his move back to Barcelona, as the North London side continued to pay off the Emirates stadium by selling their stars.

Following the defeat, five players arrived on deadline day in the form of Andre Santos, Park Chu-Young, Per Mertesacker and now Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta.

Despite the result, Arsenal would again qualify for the Champions League with arguably their weakest squad in the Premier League years.

🤔The GREATEST-EVER Champions League goal❓

On the 2nd November 1999 Italian midfielder, Mauro Bressan, hit a 25-yard overhead kick against Barcelona, during a 3-3 draw in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.

Some years later, ITV put it at number 2 in the '50 Greatest Champions League Goals' behind Zinedine Zidane's left-foot volley in the 2002 final.

⚽️Michael Owen nets 4️⃣ TIMES against Nottingham Forest in '98

The 'Boy Wonder', fresh off his World Cup exploits, scored four times at Anfield to bury Forest in a 5-1 win for Liverpool.

It was already his second hat-trick of the season and he would go on to retain his Premier League Golden Boot award, with another 18 goals in the 1998/99 season.

🤣FUNNIEST Press Conferences | Feat. Mourinho, Ferguson, Klopp & more‼️

📆Manchester United shocked the footballing world by selling Jaap Stam in 2001.

The Dutch defender had released his own book titled "Head to Head" which reportedly caused the breakdown of his relationship with the Scot, following statements in the book that Ferguson's approach to buy him was done without the permission of PSV.

'Fergie' always maintained that it was down to footballing reasons and felt the treble winner had declined in the three years he was at Old Trafford.

In 2007, Sir Alex stated that "At the time he had just come back from an achilles injury and we thought he had just lost a little bit. We got the offer from Lazio, £16.5m for a centre back who was 29. It was an offer I couldn't refuse. But in playing terms it was a mistake. He is still playing for Ajax at a really good level."

📆Leeds' Eric Cantona scored the Premier League's FIRST hat-trick in 1992.

🏆The champions - facing Tottenham at Elland Road in their third game - ran riot, winning 5-0, with the Frenchman netting his second treble in the space of a month; he had netted three against Liverpool in the Charity Shield.
