Milan were the dominant team really but United were devastating on the break. Two Rooney headers plus Scholes' lucky first-half equaliser put United in a great position with three away goals to take to Old Trafford in three weeks. Milan took the lead through Ronaldinho and Seedorf got their second to make a tasty final few moments. Milan only have themselves to blame for this one as United extend their record to 16 away games unbeaten in Europe.

AC MILAN 2-3 MAN UTD. Well, well what a sensational game of football. Carrick's sending off was for kicking the ball away just to clear that up. It was truly the Wayne Rooney show!
- 94'
It's all over...
- 93'
Valencia breaks at speed after the resulting free-kick and it's out for a United corner.
- 93'
I don't understand what's happened there. I'm sure it was Evra who made the tackle!
- 93'
Evra fouls Pato and Carrick's off!
- 92'
Brown's introduction, I suspect, will be to try and shore up the defence in the last few minutes.
- 91'
Ronaldinho booked for dissent.
- 91'
UNITED SUB: Brown on for Rafael.
- 90'
Here comes Seedorf, who releasses Pato. The striker takes it past Evra but after some drops of the shoulder Rooney chases back - yes Rooney - to smash it clear. Backs to the wall.
- 89'
Two chances in quick succession for Milan. Free header from Thiago Silva from a corner but he put it wide. Just before Ambrosini hit Ronaldinho's knock down but it was deflected out.
- 88'
Foul by Carrcik unecessarily in no-mans land near the centre-cricle.
- 88'
The ref gives Evra a stern warning about time wasting.
- 88'
This has been an absolute classic and I just don't know which way it will turn next. Milan looked dead and buried but now they're chasing everything.
- 87'
Thiago Silva tries a speculative effort from 35 yards. Nowhere near as his team-mates look on in despair.
- 86'
United sitting back and inviting Milan to come onto them now.
- 86'
The game has sprung into life again. Ronaldinho played it into Inzaghi on the edge of the area but rather than place it he tried to blast it.
- 86'
What a great chance for Inzaghi!
- 85'
Milan 2-3 United. WOW! What an incredible goal. Ronaldinho came down the left and with some fantastic footwork put a left foot cross in. Seedorf pur one leg behind the other and it was an audacious finish.
- 84'
GOAL! Seedorf.
- 83'
Rooney takes it on from 30 yards and Dida lets it go. I'm pleased he was convinced enough about it because it looked to me like that was pretty close as it drifted just wide.
- 82'
Free-kick for United now after Ronaldinho fouls Scholes.
- 81'
Evra comes in from the left and tees up Valencia who plays a one-two with Scholes. The Ecuadorian smashes a low corss in and had Rooney gambled he may have just grabbed his third. As it is, it went out for a throw-in.
- 80'
The game has started to slow right down now and it's looking scrappy out there.
