United fans had warmed to the St. Valentine's Day massacre theme. It wasn't quite that but there was certainly no love lost in one of the best Manchester derbies for some time.
It had everything: plenty of goals and the kind of passion that boils over when the locals go head-to-head.
Gary Neville was sent-off but the red card inspired ten-man United. "It was real Manchester United," declared Sir Alex Ferguson.

Only three days after their Fourth Round encounter, and back at The Den, Millwall played hosts to Burnley.
A close affair saw Danny Dichio bag his sixth goal in five matches since his move to south east London, with a headed effort from a Kevin Muscat cross.
Millwall strode straight into the Sixth Round for the first time since 1985 and now stood only 180 minutes away from the glory of an FA Cup Final.
