Colin Gibson’s dismissal looked like it was to compound United’s misery, but a late rally produced strikes from Captain Marvel and Gordon Strachan to level the scores.

Arguably Fernando Torres’ greatest performance in England, the Spaniard spent the whole match tying Nemanja Vidic, near the height of his defensive powers, completely up in knots.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s early penalty put United in front but Fernando Torres’ equaliser shortly afterwards hinted at what was to come. The Spanish striker capitalised on a Nemanja Vidic mistake for the leveler and went on to torment his opponent all afternoon, before the Serbian defender was eventually sent off.
