The best 5.5 minutes of football I've seen.

Oxford Utd home November 86

Paul Simpson had just been transferred to them and made his debut against us!

1-0 down Morley equalises in injury time, 2 minutes later we go up the pitch and Redmond scores a header from the penalty spot. Brilliant!

A week later we smash Bradford 4-0 and go top of the league

The ball was on the penalty spot? That's some header!

Brightwell nearly scored after the second went in. Just missed a header from a cross from the right (presumably from White) that if he'd connected would have been a pretty certain goal. Wasn’t at all long after Morley’s goal but might have been more than five minutes after, but what mayhem there would have been if that went in!

My dad took me to that one and we left before the end, only to hear the two roars go up while walking back to Letchworth street. Always been scarred by that so try never to leave early as a consequence.

Probably not the best, but certainly the most chaotic, the four goals against Spurs in the Champs lge. Think it was over 7 minutes but not often you see 4 goals, 2 for either side in such an important game.

Great shout
I’d add the first five minutes of the derby at the swamp a few years ago, when Edin tapped in off the post. We could genuinely have been three or four up within minutes

Yep, good choice. But since this obviously doesn't depend on only goal scoring (our goals were spaced out in that match, but what you mean is that we were so all over them that it was one of the very few derbies where I felt totally relaxed virtually from first to last), I'd add, I think from that same season 13-14, the away game at Spurs where Sergio was just completely unplayable until he was taken off injured. It was just so obvious right from the whistle that Spurs had no answer whatsoever to our football that the first five minutes, the next five minutes, etc. were hugely enjoyable.
That 13-14 season is a semi-forgotten one, but we played some absolutely breathtaking football from the beginning of November to the end of January. I'd still say it was the best football I'd ever seen from a City side until the Centurions season. We were just smashing teams for fun that season, and it continued up to the 4-0 against Villa that I'm very happy to say I was in the East Stand for.
