On 7 September 1996 at Elland Road, Manchester United dismantle Leeds 4-0 and leave Howard Wilkinson staring at the trapdoor.
An early corner ends in farce: Nigel Martyn claws at a header, Ian Harte clears off the line, and the ball smacks the keeper in the back of the head for an own goal. Manchester United then miss a penalty scuffing it wide after David Wetherall hauls down a United attacker, much to Elland Road's delight, but it's not long before Poborsky's weaving run picks out a midfielder who slots low past Martyn just after the break.
The Czech midfielder then breaks his Premiership duck with a rising finish after he is slipped through, finally, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's cross to the far post is met by an attacker who guides one in with the outside of the boot from a tight angle and strike the Messiah pose in front of the Kop.
The Czech comes off to applause from the home fans, which is rarely the Elland Road special. Ferguson goes home happy. Wilkinson goes home with a lot of explaining to do.
The phrase "top bins" is all about the top corners of the goal, where the crossbar meets the posts. It describes a goal scored with precision, power, and accuracy right into the top corner - an unstoppable strike! It is synonymous with "finding the corner" or a "perfect" strike - e.g. "They've put that top bins" or "That is top bins!".
