In this week's Premier League vault, Manchester Utd fight back from two goals down against Sunderland to share the spoils

Before Manchester United travel to Sunderland on Nissan Super Sunday, we look back at a classic encounter between the two sides from 1999.

On that occasion, United fought back from 2-0 down to claim a 2-2 draw at the Stadium of Light.

Niall Quinn was key in Sunderland's strong start, setting up Gavin McCann to put the hosts in front in just the second minute before scoring to make it 2-0 shortly afterwards.

Roy Keane halved the deficit before the break as he scored his 10th goal of the season.

After a frantic end to the first half, United had to wait until late in the game to grab an equaliser, with Nicky Butt levelling in the 85th minute.
