#4 Chelsea 3-5 Manchester United, 04 January 1998
Chelsea hosted Manchester United in the 3rd round of the FA Cup and the away side were in rampant form. David Beckham opened the scoring in the 23rd minute before firing in a free kick five minutes later to double his team’s lead. Andrew Cole scored on the stroke of half-time to make it 3-0.
Cole scored again in the second half before Teddy Sheringham headed in their 5th goal of the game.

Chelsea tried to initiate a comeback, with Graeme Le Saux scoring a wonderful chip from outside the box and a quickfire double from Gianluca Vialli. But it was all a little too late for the London club as Manchester United progressed with a thrilling victory.
