FULL-TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 3-2 AC MILAN

Unbelievable finish from WAYNE ROONEY! A glorious strike from the youngster caps off a remarkable night of football and a sensational revival from Manchester United. It could well be a priceless strike and there's only 2 minutes left.

GOAL: MANCHESTER UNITED 3-2 AC MILAN
- 87'
Milan have completely faded in this second half and United have enjoyed far more possession and chances. Milan will be looking to play down the clock now.
- 85'
Ronaldo smashes it and Brochi breaks off the wall to divert it over for a corner. Milan clear the danger through Seedorf.
- 85'
Yet another free-kick in a dangerous position for Manchester United. It's a little further out than the previous set-pieces but just left of centre...
- 84'
Milan make a defensive change with Yoann Gourcuff replacing the lone front man Gilardino.
- 83'
Pure Ronaldo. Cuts in from the left and unleashes a firecracker that fizzes into the sidenetting. Great effort from the winger who was inches away from putting his side ahead.
- 82'
Into the last 10 minutes and Milan look to be settling for what they've got.
- 81'
Sweeping move from United and Fletcher gets in a low drive to Dida's near post. The keeper is down early and gathers.
- 80'
Heinze does what he failed to do in the first half and stop Kaka in his tracks. Wonderful strong challenge from the Argentine.
- 78'
Rooney drags a hopeful shot well wide in a somewhat lazy effort on goal.
- 77'
Ronaldo and Nesta crash into the advertising boards after a chase in the box. They're shaken but should continue.
- 75'
Andrea Pirlo, from all of 30 yards, glides a free-kick up and over the wall forcing van der Sar to get across and dive low to clear the danger. Very casual from the Dutchman.
- 73'
AC Milan are certainly missing Gattuso in the heart of midfield with Scholes and Carrick dominating matters in the middle of the park.
- 72'
Giggs again bends his left foot around it and this time it's too close to Dida who gobbles it up with ease. United retain possession though and begin to build once more.
- 71'
United definitely on top now and they win another free-kick in a dangerous position. 25 yards out and Giggs and Ronaldo line it up.
- 69'
It's Giggs who takes it and it dips up and over the wall but doesn't curl enough to beat Dida and he watches it fizz wide.
- 67'
Free-kick in a dangerous position for Manchester United. Scholes was hauled down 25 yards out and Ronaldo hovers over it...
- 66'
Good opening created by Giggs as he tears down the right and delivers a teasing cross that just evades the onrushing Paul Scholes.
- 64'
This really is a facinating contest. It could go either way still but United will fancy another goal now. They're edging matters at the moment.
- 63'
Terrific play by United and a remarkable save from Dida keeps the score to 2-2. Fletcher drills in a shot after a mix-up in the defence and the Brazilian stopper gets across well to parry round the post.
- 62'
Milan can't clear their lines with any great efficiency.
- 61'
The pendulum swings back to United now as the crowd roar on their side who are back on top.
