Manchester United match 1999 heroics with late Juve comeback

Manchester United's late comeback win over Juventus on Wednesday saw them accomplish something they hadn't managed since the famous 1999 Champions League final against Bayern Munich.

Cristiano Ronaldo's sensational goal had given Juventus the lead in Turin, but the Italian side were stunned late by Juan Mata's 86th-minute free-kick and an own goal from Alex Sandro in the 90th minute.

With the 2-1 result, United won a Champions League game with two goals in the final five minutes for the first time since the 1998-9 final.

On that famous night in Barcelona, Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scored in injury time to turn a one-goal deficit into a treble-clinching 2-1 victory.
