Well who predicted that!

Our best result in Europe for many years as we beat Juventus at home (for the third time in a row by the way) to resurrect our Champions League Group H campaign. It looked like Juventus were cruising to victory after Ronaldo's volleyed goal half way through the second-half. They could easily have added another goal in the following minutes as they turned the screw but we held firm and waited for our moment.

Mata struck with a beautiful free-kick with five minutes remaining and then 3 minutes later a Young free-kick into the box caused chaos and the ball went in off a Juve player to make it 2:1!

Juve's first home defeat in the group stages since 2009 and credit to Jose and the team as we had a real go tonight. From the first minute we were up for it, tactically got it right and stuck at it for the 90 minutes and got the win.

Mourinho is on the pitch after the final whistle holding his hand to his ear. The Juventus players and staff don't like that but he's enjoying the moment. Why the feck not!

What a result. Get in!!!

Juventus 1:0 Man Utd - Ronaldo (65')

Juventus 1-1 Man Utd - Mata (86')

Juventus 1-2 Man Utd - Sandro (89' o.g.)

Smash and grab like Basel in 2011.

Juve's finishing should have killed it earlier on.

We gave them a lot of chances but this was no smash and grab, we were in this game the whole way through.

I’d have been chuffed with the 1-1. This result is a nice reminder of the way things used to be.

How the feck did we do that :lol:

If we attack teams, we’re not half bad. Wish we did it more often.

Knew we'd win. just had a feeling that when everythings going against you and the entire world expects you to lose, its time for a typical jose win.

Did Fellaini even get a touch for that second goal? The commentators kept saying that he did, but I couldn't see it on replay. It looked like Young swung it in and then two of their players bundled it into their own net
