Great moment in Coventry City Football Club history: Michael Mifsud's Double Strike Against Manchester United in the Carling Cup (September 2007) This iconic photo captures the exhilarating moment when Coventry City's Michael Mifsud scored his second goal against Manchester United in the Carling Cup third round on September 26,2007. The image, taken by Martin Rickett, perfectly encapsulates the excitement and emotion of the historic double strike. Mifsud, a Maltese international striker, had already put Coventry City ahead with a stunning solo effort in the first half. But Manchester United, then managed by Alex Ferguson, fought back and equalized before half-time. The tension in the Ricoh Arena was palpable as the second half began, with both teams determined to secure a place in the next round. However, Mifsud had other plans. In the 63rd minute, he received a pass from Leon Best and unleashed a powerful shot that flew past Manchester United's goalkeeper, Edwin van der Sar, putting Coventry City back in the lead. The crowd erupted in cheers, and Mifsud celebrated with his teammates, as seen in this photograph. The second goal was a turning point in the game, and Coventry City held on to secure a memorable victory against the English football giants. The photo serves as a reminder of the underdog spirit and determination that has defined Coventry City Football Club throughout its history. Mifsud's double strike against Manchester United remains one of the most memorable moments in the club's history, and this photograph is a testament to the passion and excitement that football can bring. It is a moment that Coventry City fans will never forget.
