My favourite newspaper headline of all-time: "Who would of thought it: Phil Neville blows title race wide open" . It was the 2-0 match where Veron and Scholes scorred. Keane and Nicky Butt were injured and Neville partnered Veron in midfield with Scholes playing as a 10. Phil absolutely hammered Patrick Vieira all game. He was very humble in the post match about his performance saying the the club needed to get Keane and Butt back as soon as possible which was very nice and self-aware.Random one, but I remember Phil Neville playing CM against Arsenal once and being superb. For the player he was, it was a 10/10 for him.
Sometimes I think Vieria got a bit too cocky when Keane was injured. He put in some superhuman performances against Keane and United at times but had some not so good matches against Neville and later Darren Fletcher.
