      Top 10 most memorable Premier League moments ever revealed from Eric Cantona’s kung fu kick to Leicester title win

      by

      THE PREMIER LEAGUE has had some incredibly memorable moments since its inception in 1992.The competition replaced the old First Division and was made up of the teams that competed in it.The Premier League has produced some iconic moments since its inception in 1992Credit: GettyEngland’s top flight has grown immensely since the 90s and is now one of the highest-rated in the world.The Premier League has featured some of the best players and teams of the last 30 years in world football, earning it a reputation like no other across Europe.Manchester United are still the most successful club in the new era with an astounding 13 titles won.While there has also been some brilliant teams assembled in more recent years such as the Manchester City side that earned 100 points in the 2017/18 season.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLArsenal’s “Invincibles” that won the title unbeaten in 2003/04 remain one of a kind in Prem history.Here are the top 10 moments since the Premier League began…10. Liverpool 4 Newcastle 3 in April 1996Liverpool and Newcastle are among the most passionately supported clubs in the country, and when they came to head in 1996 the game didn’t disappoint.Both sides had lost their previous matches and trailed Manchester United in a three-way race for the Premier League title.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSWith both keen to close the gap on the Red Devils, victory could be vital.The match itself was filled with drama as both sides gave it their all to stay withing touching distance of Sir Alex Ferguson’s United.Meet the new Wags of the Premier League season, from a Belgian interior designer to a Portuguese modelLiverpool beat Newcastle 4-3 in one of the most iconic matches in the Premier LeagueCredit: PA:Press AssociationLiverpool took the lead just two minutes in as Robbie Fowler netted the opener.The Magpies then hit back as Les Ferdinand and David Ginola put them ahead before half-time.Fowler scored an equaliser in the 55th minute before Faustino Asprilla restored the visitor’s lead.The Reds were then cheered on by the Anfield crowd as Stan Collymore netted a brace to win the match.9. Jose Mourinho’s introductionJose Mourinho will always be one of the most recognisable faces of the PremCredit: EPAJose Mourinho arrived on English shores for the first time back in 2004, when he was made Chelsea manager after his success at Porto.The Portuguese manager did not disappoint as in his first press conference, he insisted that he was “not arrogant” but referred to himself as “The Special One”.The nickname has stuck by Mourinho as he has gone on to win three Premier League titles across two spells at the Blues.8. Hansen’s “can’t win with kids” commentAlan Hansen lived to regret his words on Match of theDay in 1995Credit: CollectAlan Hansen built his reputation as a brilliant defender at Liverpool and helped the team win eight First Division titles and three European Cups.He retired in 1991 and pursued a career in the media, leading to an iconic moment in 1995.After Manchester United were beaten by Aston Villa on the opening day of the season, Hansen claimed that the club cannot “win anything with kids”.The comment came as the Red Devils let Paul Ince, Mark Hughes and Andrei Kanchelskis leave and introduced youngsters in their place.Those youngsters included Nicky Butt, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and David Beckham – better known as “The Class of 92”.Sir Alex Ferguson’s side went on to win the league that season and dominate football for many years to come – Oh how wrong you were Alan.7. Aguerooooooooooo!!!Sergio Aguero scored a memorable winner to give Manchester City their first Premier League titleCredit: News Group Newspapers LtdThe seventh most memorable moment in the league’s history came from Sergio Aguero.The striker scored Manchester City’s title-winning goal against QPR back in 2012.The Argentine’s strike came at 93.20 and gave Roberto Mancini’s side a 3-2 victory over the London-based side.The win meant Sir Alex Ferguson and his Manchester United players were left heartbroken in Sunderland after their victory was put in vein.The goal has always been remembered for Martin Tyler’s iconic commentary as he screamed: “Aguerooooooooo” as the striker scored.That day marked City’s first ever Premier League title, staring a period of domination that has seen them win another SEVEN titles since that day.6. Steven Gerrard’s slipSteven Gerrard’s slip cost Liverpool the Prem title in 2014Credit: Sky SportsLiverpool have only won one Premier League title in their history but could have had two if not for a fateful slip.The Reds were the favourites to lift the title under Brendan Rodgers in 2014 as they sat a comfortable five points ahead of rivals Man City with three games to go.A home win against Chelsea would have put the title in their grasp, but with the game at 0-0, disaster struck.Steven Gerrard, captain and leader, slipped on the ball, which allowed Demba Ba to race through and score.The game ended in a 2-0 defeat, and Liverpool’s following collapse at Crystal Palace saw the title won by City.5. Wayne Rooney’s overhead kickWayne Rooney caused shockwaves with his overhead kick against Man City in 2011Credit: GettyThe Manchester derby has always been one of the most exciting fixtures in the Premier League.It has thrown up some incredible moments, such as City’s 6-1 win at Old Trafford.However, one goal stands above all others in the fixture and it came from the legend that is Wayne Rooney.In 2011, the derby was underway and looked set for a 1-1 draw after goals from Nani and David Silva cancelled each other out.That was until Rooney pulled off an amazing overhead kick in the 78th minute to win the match.The goal has often been proclaimed as the best in the history of the Premier League.4. Kevin Keegan’s ‘love it’ rantKevin Keegan pulled off a famous rant during Newcastle’s title battle with Man UnitedCredit: PA:Press AssociationClub managers have been a key part of creating Premier League folklore.One boss, Kevin Keegan, stands out for his incredible rant during the 1995/96 title race.Newcastle were going head-to-head with the Red Devils, and Keegan’s side faced Leeds, who had three games to go.The Magpies won 1-0 and the manager had an outburst after the game as he reacted to Ferguson’s doubts over the club’s title credentials.He ranted: “I’ll tell you, you can tell him [Ferguson] now if you’re watching it, we’re still fighting for this title, and he’s got to go to Middlesbrough and get something, and… and… I’ll tell you, honestly, I will love it if we beat them, love it!”However, it was not the dream end for Keegan as Newcastle drew their next two games against Nottingham Forest and Tottenham.Man United beat Middlesborough and won the title.3. Foxes do the impossibleLeicester City completed a Cinderella story by winning the Premier League in 2016Credit: PAFor most of its history, the Premier League has often been dominated by the biggest clubs.However, in the 2015/16 season, one side seemed to do what many thought was impossible.Leicester City scrapped to Premier League survival the season before, and Nigel Pearson was controversially replaced by Claudio Ranieri.The Italian, along with summer signings N’Golo Kante, Robert Huth and Shinji Okazaki improved the team that already included Jamie Vardy and Riyad Marhez.The East Midlands side then managed to defy the odds and win the whole division despite many backing them for relegation at the start of the season.Leicester’s achievement was incredibly improbable as they had been given odds of 5000-1 to win the Prem at the start of the campaign.2. Beckham’s halfway line screamerDavid Beckham scored a goal that will always be remembered in Premier League historyCredit: Action ImagesDavid Beckham is known for many things. From his free-kick against Greece in and England shirt to his superstar status off the pitch.But when it comes to the Premier League, his greatest moment will always be considered as his stunning goal against Wimbledon.Just 21 years old at the time, a fresh-faced Beckham etched his name into the brains of football fans up and down the country.United were leading Wimbledon 2-0 when Beckham spotted that opposition keeper Neil Sullivan was off his line.The midfielder let fly from the halfway line, clearing Sullivan and seeing his long-range effort hit the back of the net.Some players have scored similar efforts in the years since, but Beckham will forever be the benchmark for which halfway line goals are measured.1. Cantona’s Kung Fu kickEric Cantona lost his head and Kung Fu kicked a fan in the standsCredit: RexIf this was a list of the Premier League’s most iconic characters Eric Cantona would be at the top, so it’s no surprise that his most famous moment tops the list of the league’s most memorable moments too.During a game against Crystal Palace in 1995, Cantona was berated by a fan in the stands – sparking a reaction from the Frenchman.Cantona didn’t take kindly to the choice words and leapt into the crowd feet first to kick the fan directly in the chest.Naturally, Cantona was shown red for his unbelievable outburst.READ MORE SUN STORIESBut his punishment didn’t stop there, Cantona was banned from football for NINE MONTHS and fined £20,000.While the courts handed him a two-week prison sentence, which was later reduced to 120 hours of community service after an appeal.Top 10 most memorable Premier League momentsHere is the full list of the ten most memorable moments in the history of the Prem..10. Liverpool 4, Newcastle 3 in April 19969. Mourinho – ‘I think I am the special one’ – his introduction to the Premier League8. Alan Hansen’s ‘You can’t win anything with kids’ line in 19957. Aguerooo – Man City’s title winning goal against QPR in 20126. Steven Gerrard’s fateful slip in the Chelsea match in April 20145. Wayne Rooney’s bicycle kick against Man City in 20114.

      Thierry Henry and Micah Richards pinpoint Erling Haaland’s biggest flaw that ‘Harry Kane can do’ on CBS Sports coverage

      by

      THIERRY HENRY and Micah Richards have pinpointed Erling Haaland’s biggest flaw that “Harry Kane can do.”The pair were both on CBS Sports last night to bring coverage of the latest Champions League matches.Erling Haaland’s Man City performance against Inter Milan was analysed on CBS SportsCredit: RexThierry Henry pointed out the one thing Haaland needs to improve onCredit: X formerly Twitter / @CBSSportsGolazoAfter seeing Aston Villa and Liverpool win their fixtures, City went up against Italian champs Inter Milan looking to start their campaign with victory.But Simone Inzaghi’s men dropped deep and their back five helped grind out a 0-0 draw.Haaland barely had a sniff as City struggled to create chances.And he also failed to drop deep in an attempt to get on the ball.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLHaaland’s lack of involvement was a major talking point at full-time as the CBS studio dissected his performance.Former Arsenal striker Henry questioned whether Haaland needs to improve his link-up play, insisting the Norwegian goal machine is unable to carve out opportunities like England captain Harry Kane.Ex-Man City star Richards echoed Henry’s sentiments.But he also insisted that it’s not an aspect of the beautiful game Haaland needs to be overly concerned about, having already netted nine goals this season.Most read in Champions LeagueFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSHenry started the debate by saying: “Can he drop and get the ball?”Richards fired back: “It’s not his game.”Man City star reveals kit issue which led to ‘awkward blunder’Micah Richards defended Haaland’s lack of build-up playBut Henry was undeterred and continued: “I know it’s not but do you think he can drop, get the ball and make things happen?”Richards answered: “Not as well as we’d like to see him, but I do believe his all-round game this season has improved.”Henry noted: “Can he go in the middle and play like Kane can do? Right now? No.“I think he can improve, but right now he can’t do that.”City boss Pep Guardiola defended Haaland’s performance, saying: “There were six players around him, three behind, three in front.“That makes it difficult for any player. We tried to use the spaces, that is why Gundogan had a couple of chances.“We knew Inter would play like that. Credit to them. We created a couple of really clear opportunities but we didn’t score.”What will happen to Man City?MAN CITY are favourites to win the Premier League title yet again – but there is one elephant in the room that threatens to put the skids under the Etihad giants.Sunsport’s MARTIN LIPTON discusses what the next few months could hold with Head of Sport SHAUN CUSTIS….Custis: So the big question – will there be a resolution this season?Lipton: Yes…. probably! We know the case will start to be dealt with in October or November.It will take at least a month to go through the evidence. So I suspect around March, April time, we will get a result. But that’s where it starts to get tricky.Custis: Why is that?Lipton: If the result is in City’s favour, that’s the end of the matter. They will be cleared. They will have no punishment to face.But if City are found guilty, these will be the heaviest penalties ever imposed by the Premier League.I suspect if they are found guilty, they will be expelled from the league or given a massive points deduction and a huge fine so that they’re not in the Premier League next season.Check out the full discussion on Man City’s future.
