Will Manchester United spoil Tottenham's White Hart Lane farewell?

Tottenham will bid farewell to White Hart Lane on Sunday - but could Manchester United spoil their celebrations?

Spurs will wear a commemorative kit to mark their final game at the north London venue - their home for 118 years - and the club have planned a post-match ceremony featuring former players and musical performances to make it a memorable send-off.

However, United got the better of Mauricio Pochettino's side earlier this season at Old Trafford and have the potential to dampen the mood this weekend.

It wouldn't be the first time a special occasion has been spoiled by an opposition team.

Premier League clubs have generally signed off in style in their last home matches before moving stadium. In 2016 West Ham enjoyed a memorable 3-2 win over Manchester United as they waved goodbye to the Boleyn, while Southampton, Leicester, Arsenal and Sunderland have all been victorious on their final appearances at their former stadiums.

However, Derby's final match at the Baseball Ground - 20 years ago this week - didn't go as well, as a full house watched the hosts lose 3-1 to 10-man Arsenal.

Manchester City suffered a similar fate in their final fixture at Maine Road in May 2003, when Michael Svensson scored the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win for Southampton, before a post-match music concert.

In recent years there have also been key figures in Premier League history who have been denied a fairy-tale finale.

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, for instance, had his Anfield farewell spoiled by Crystal Palace, who pulled off a surprise 3-1 win in 2015. His last-ever Premier League appearance was even more off-script; the Reds skipper did get on the scoresheet but Liverpool were thrashed 6-1 at Stoke.

Sir Alex Ferguson also missed out on a final victory in his last game in charge. Manchester United led 3-0 and 5-2 at West Brom in May 2013, but a Romelu Lukaku hat-trick helped the Baggies deny Ferguson a 1,500th win with United. The remarkable 5-5 draw also marked Paul Scholes' final appearance for United.

When it comes to the international stage, there are plenty of tales of opposition countries spoiling supporters' moments to treasure.

Germany beat England 1-0 in the final international game at the old Wembley - a result which sparked Kevin Keegan's resignation as manager - while both Greece and Portugal have beaten host nations in European Championship finals in the past 13 years.

Brazil - featuring a 17-year-old Pele - defeated Sweden in the 1958 World Cup final in Stockholm but suffered their own shock on home turf when eventual winners Germany thrashed them 7-1 in the semi-finals of the 2014 edition.
