In the first of our new series, The Games That Decided the Season, we go back to 1995/96 and ask a simple question: when was the Premier League title really won and lost?

Was it 4 March at St James’ Park, when Newcastle battered Manchester United for long periods, Peter Schmeichel somehow kept them out, and Eric Cantona struck to give United a huge 1–0 victory that cut Newcastle’s lead to a single point?

Or was it a month later at Anfield? Newcastle still had their destiny in their own hands when they met Liverpool on 3 April, only to lose 4–3 in one of the greatest Premier League games ever played, Stan Collymore’s stoppage-time winner leaving Kevin Keegan famously slumped over the advertising hoardings.

We revisit Ferguson’s mind games, Cantona’s influence, Newcastle’s breathtaking attacking football and the pressure that slowly engulfed Keegan’s side.

Manchester United at St James’ Park or Liverpool at Anfield — which was the game that really decided the 1995/96 Premier League title?

This is The Final Countdown — football history and nostalgia, as we look back at the moments when an entire season changed.
