United's cup comeback 25 years on

Manchester United's FA Cup hopes were being dashed in the fourth round at Old Trafford and, to rub salt in the wounds, it was Liverpool doing the damage.

On the 25th anniversary of a joyous occasion, our look at games at this stage of the famous competition focuses on the amazing late turnaround, a forerunner of what was to be achieved at the climax of the Treble-winning campaign, at the Nou Camp.

For, make no mistake, this was looking like a day to forget. Only two minutes were on the clock when Vegard Heggem crossed for future United forward Michael Owen to head home for the visitors and things were certainly not going to plan.
