Late Heroics(4/11/04)
  Manchester United fans left Old Trafford very depressed after watching their team score what figured to be the winner, only to see Arsenal storm back for two goals in the final minutes.  The drama began when Ruud van Nistelrooy scored his 3rd league goal of the season in the 85th minute when Louis Saha centered the ball after an O'Shea long ball, finding Ruud for the goal. Surely, that was the game, but no!  The "RUUD!" chants didn't phase Arsenal, and immediately fired back a response to Man Utd's goal. Henry took the ball right off the kickoff down the field splitting the defense and sliding the ball past Howard.  Then in injury time,
