Long before the prolific attacking teams of recent years, Manchester United set the record for most goals scored in a season with 97 in 2000.

Perhaps in an attempt to compensate for their defensive deficiencies, Alex Ferguson's side became known for an almost relentlessly offensive approach, with Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole leading the line.

At the back, they were beset by goalkeeping issues: Mark Bosnich made 23 appearances, while Raimond van der Gouw and the infamous Massimo Taibi also featured.

But it didn't matter. Manchester United was uncontainable and won the title with 91 points and an 18-point gap to Arsenal in second.
