RETRO FOOTBALL CLIP: Paul Scholes Shows You The Meaning Of The Phrase 'Sweetly Struck'

Paul Scholes at his most wonderful here from the 1999-00 season, a Premier League title United won by about 79 points.

David O'Leary and his babies had seen their challenge fizzle out at the turn of the year while Arsenal had a fairly messy, abject season. They rallied enough to claim runner-up spot with ever mounting a challenge.

Thus, when United travelled to Valley Parade fifteen years ago yesterday, the Premier League title was essentially wrapped up, if not quite settled from a mathematical standpoint.

Dwight Yorke, who had yet to zone out at Old Trafford, pinged two first half goals and then Paul Scholes produced this. He connected beautifully with David Beckham's corner kick, sending the ball flying into the far corner.

I'd say it felt good.
