It is not often that an iconic goal comes to be defined by a celebration, but then again not every player is Eric Cantona.
Twenty years ago on Tuesday, Cantona’s chip against Sunderland placed the ball into the back of the net. His reaction to the goal earned a place in the Premier League history books.
Manchester United were already 4-0 ahead when Cantona collected the ball on the halfway line. It was the 80th minute of the tie and, given Sunderland were relegated at the end of the season, there was little chance of the game swinging the other way.
