Play by play

  1. 95'

    The game looked a certain draw before Veron's excellent pass left Forlan with the chance to win the game in the third minute of stoppage time

  2. 95'

    Chelsea ran the first half and paid the price for sloppy defending, and then were hit by the classic United late show

  3. 95'
