OTD 2013: Van Persie wonder strike leads United to EPL title
Robin van Persie had a knack for producing the spectacular in the Premier League.
One of his best individual seasons came in 2012/13, where he scored 26 goals, helping the Red Devils to reclaim the title from fierce rivals Man City.
The Dutch striker also provided Old Trafford with some memorable moments during that campaign, including a first-half hat-trick against Aston Villa in April, which cinched the title for Alex Ferguson's side.
It took van Persie just two minutes to get off the mark, but his best of the evening came 11 minutes later as he eyed up a trademark sweeping long ball from Wayne Rooney.
