Manchester United came from behind to beat AC Milan 3-2 in the first leg of a dramatic Champions League semi-final at Old Trafford. Wayne Rooney scoring the winner in stoppage time.
He latched on to a pass from Ryan Giggs and lashed the ball past Milan goalkeeper Dida's near post from the edge of the penalty area for his second goal of the game. Rooney brought United back into the tie when he converted from close range to make it 2-2 in the 59th minute after a brilliantly executed scooped pass from Paul Scholes
A beaming United manager Alex Ferguson told ITV Sport moments after the game: "I thought we played some fantastic football and dominated the game. The equalizer gave us the incentive to go on and win it and the late goal gives us a magnificent chance of winning the tie now."
