After switching to Manchester United from Arsenal at the beginning of the 2012-13 season, Robin van Persie lined up against his former side and scored in all the first 3 matches against the Gunners. On the first two occasions, the Dutchman scored and did nothing showing respect to his former club.

However, on the third occasion when Van Persie scored, he sprinted to the United fans and slid on the ground. He later spread his arms while roaring and celebrating with his teammates.

#1 Zlatan Ibrahimovic vs Inter Milan
