Manchester United 3-3 CSKA Moscow In Champions League
Manchester United draw 3-3 with CSKA Moscow in Champions League
It was a very lucky game for us last night but it was enough to take us through to the knock out stages of the Champions League.
CSKA Moscow had us doubting that we were going to see the next stages with a 3-1 lead before the second half was out. CSKA certainly came out all guns blazing, showing a better performance and higher standard of football than our last meeting two weeks ago with a 1-0 defeat by us.
We should have received a penalty just into the second half as Darren Fletcher was taken down in the area by Berezutski, however it was Fletcher who was penalised and unfairly booked for diving.
Scholes gave us hope again in the 84th minute when he headed the ball into the back of the net from Gary Neville’s free kick.
It wasn’t until 2 minutes into injury time that saw us through to the next stages though as CSKA’s very own Schennikov scored an own goal from a shot from Valencia that was heading well wide of the goal.
