Six days after a 5-0 drubbing at Newcastle, Manchester United go to The Dell, Saturday 26 October 1996, and lose 6-3. Graeme Souness's Southampton begin the afternoon 17th and Sir Alex Ferguson's visitors fifth, yet within 21 minutes United have lost Butt to injury and Keane to a second booking.
The hosts are two up inside 35 minutes, first by following up a Schmeichel save and then with a chip over him. Beckham whips a free kick straight in after 41 minutes, only for Southampton to restore their cushion just before the interval.
Pallister stays in the dressing room with a back problem, and May nods in a Beckham set piece on 56 minutes to cut the gap to one. Graham Potter and Jim Magilton are thrown on, before a first time volley from a half cleared corner flies in on 83 minutes.
Southampton strike again after 85 minutes and Scholes answers on 89 minutes, before Gary Neville diverts a late Saints effort beyond Schmeichel with time all but up. United have not shipped six since 1980, yet Ferguson's side still end up champions as Southampton climb to 16th.
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!".
