A brilliant David Beckham free-kick just 2 minutes in was enough for Manchester United to beat Manchester City back in November 2000.

It was a trademark free-kick from Beckham and we also need to thank Erling Haaland’s father, Alfie, for committing a foul on Paul Scholes.

Beckham, who was England captain at the time, brilliantly curled his free-kick pas Nicky Weaver and inside the left-hand post.

Beckham’s goal from 2000 should be enough to get you excited for Sunday.
