VIDEO Tackle Of The Week: Paul Scholes & Ryan Giggs (Manchester United) On Scott Parker (West Ham)

But rather than commit a noticeable foul, Scholes worked in tandem with fellow Red Devils legend Ryan Giggs to pull off a sublime double sliding tackle on West Ham's Scott Parker.

As the Hammer advanced through the middle of the pitch with half-time approaching, Scholes and Giggs collectively homed in on their opponent like a couple of predators waiting to pounce. And when the moment presented itself, the duo both slid in on their prey before Giggs got up with possession back in his control.

Not only did the pair perform their double tackle to perfection, but Giggs' pass to Nani straight after should have led to Manchester United's second of the game.

Staying with superb defending, Soccer AM flagged up a fantastic bit of work from last weekend's League One match between Gillingham and Lincoln City.

Hats off to Gills defender Tony Sinclair for a stunning goal-line clearance.
