It Wasn t Nou Camp And It Certainly Wasn t A Goal For The Highlight Reel

It wasn't Nou Camp, and it certainly wasn't a goal for the highlight reel.
Not like the one Cristiano Ronaldo had scored earlier. Yet the injury-time winner that put Manchester United back on course for the Champions League knockout stage would have been a thing of beauty to Jose Mourinho.
He came here with a plan and it worked.

A moment of genius from Ronaldo aside, Juventus could not find a way through.
And while United undoubtedly rode their luck as the Italians spurned opportunities and twice hit the woodwork, it took immense effort to be within touching distance of the home side with five minutes to go.
From there, United sprung an old-fashioned smash and grab.
