Transcript
00:00...way unbeaten this season in Europe.
00:02United with Stam and Giggs in the starting line-up.
00:05Juventus go with Zidane, but the Frenchman's playing in pain and lacking fitness without knee injury.
00:11The very best action for you now with Ron Atkinson and Clive Tilsley.
00:19His shot.
00:23Lifted hopefully towards Inzaghi.
00:25He's managed to peel away from Bergen, getting the shot.
00:27And forced a smart save from Peter Schmeichel, who has a word in Henningberg's ear.
00:34That's an excellent save, because I would have bet money when he went over his shoulder here.
00:39I mean, he sort of rolls Bergen here.
00:42I would have bet money that was going in the other corner.
00:50Cole.
00:52Couldn't quite resist the talent of Deshaun, who I think got a foot on the ball, but caught a bit
00:56of Andy Cole too.
00:57And Manchester United have a free kick at a very promising position.
01:01And a nice positive run there from Cole. He's picked it up, he's gone at them.
01:04And if you're doing that in those sort of areas, you're always liable.
01:07He's very lucky to concede a free kick.
01:10Midway through the first half.
01:12It's David Beckham.
01:14Oh!
01:16He's how close it was.
01:18He doesn't know, Clive. You called goal, didn't you?
01:20And I must confess, I thought that went through the net.
01:24I honestly believe that at that stage, that was going nowhere else but the corner of the net.
01:37Quick kick given against Keane.
01:43Zidane furthest forward.
01:45Zaghi trying to feed off him.
01:46Stam away.
01:47I mean, as far as Conte.
01:50Di Livio.
01:53Now Zidane.
01:58Davids.
01:59All poked in.
02:00It's a chance for Conte.
02:01It's 1-0 to Juventus.
02:04And the away goal that Inter Milan searched and searched for but couldn't find
02:09has fallen into the hands of Juventus and their captain, Antonio Conte.
02:17I don't think anyone can deny that there's some slick play on this side.
02:20Might have been a foul.
02:21A little freddy ball through.
02:23Takes it first.
02:24Touch opens his feet.
02:25People missing at the heart of the United's defence.
02:28But that is really slick.
02:29Damage in.
02:30One touch.
02:31Into the far post.
02:32That slick football.
02:33The build-up had been great.
02:34The finish has matched it.
02:36And I think you have to say, deserve it or so.
02:40Keane won the ball.
02:41Juliano managed to react.
02:43This is Zidane.
02:44Keane was first to it again.
02:46Setting a terrific example.
02:48York though.
02:50Unable to retain possession.
02:51Zaghi is down for the moment.
02:52So Zidane is on his own.
02:55Dispossessed by Skoltz.
02:57Taken up though.
02:58By Davids.
02:59Looking to take on his Dutch international team-mate.
03:02Jaap Stam.
03:03Davids has Di Libio making a run.
03:07Crossing towards Conte again.
03:09It's Mirkovic arriving late in the day.
03:11This is Zoran Mirkovic.
03:13And Schmeichel got something on it.
03:15And Manchester United have got away with a corner.
03:19Pippo Inzaghi in fact.
03:21Zidane's going berserk here.
03:22That he hasn't cut this one back.
03:23Alright, he's a goal scorer.
03:24He's right against the keeper.
03:25Any little tug back there.
03:27And I think Zidane is saying,
03:28I could have wrapped it into an empty net.
03:36Giggs trying to turn the tide of the game.
03:39York trying to feed him again.
03:41All-in-fortunate to fight Giggs once more.
03:43It's towards Kohl!
03:53Brave effort for an Andy Kohl.
03:55A bit fortunate to get the 1-2 Giggs.
03:57Looks up.
03:58Selects his ball at the near post.
03:59He just beats Peruzzi.
04:00And that's bravery.
04:02On another day, he scores.
04:04Deschamps.
04:06Davids making a tiptoe run down the centre.
04:09And Deschamps has seen it.
04:10There's all sorts of space now for Pessotto.
04:12And Manchester United have been undone here.
04:14It's Pessotto!
04:15And that was just wide of Pridus Michael's left-hand post.
04:19A let-off for Manchester United.
04:23Well, how Davids is allowed to run through them's heart of the defence is unbeknown.
04:27But when he's hit this again, you thought that one's bending right in.
04:30That's a let-off for United, definitely.
04:35Stam.
04:37Kohl.
04:39Looking to feed.
04:41Irwin, Baconte and Di Livia have done some good protective work on behalf of full-backs.
04:47It's happened a lot, though, that with United.
04:49You know, the front players have been sensational this season.
04:52There's too much loose stuff come off them.
04:54And here's Zidane running loose.
04:57Inzaghi is waiting in the middle.
04:59And Inzaghi got there!
05:01Makes a goal kick.
05:02He reached it ahead of Gary Neville.
05:04Be interesting to see just what Neville's input was on this.
05:07You know, I thought Neville was...
05:08He certainly made life very difficult for him.
05:15Giggs.
05:20Throwing his match to United.
05:29Dammit's giving the ball straight to Schultz.
05:31Here's Kohl.
05:33Got his shot away.
05:36That was an exciting effort from Andy Kohl.
05:39Juliano was close all the way.
05:40He was running away from the goal, but he's got some power on the shot and some leverage on the
05:45turn.
05:45Terrific sharp ball in there from...
05:47I thought he was going to hit it first, Paul.
05:49I just wonder whether it's necessary to take that extra touch and push himself away from goal.
05:54This is Beckham.
05:56Schultz is underneath it, but so too is Mirkovic.
05:59Corner kick to Manchester United.
06:02Nearly an hour gone.
06:16Stam and Jonsson are up there.
06:18Beckham takes.
06:19In towards Giggs.
06:20A sharp save that by Angelo Peruzzi.
06:25I haven't seen that one before.
06:27Caught everybody by surprise.
06:29Yes, it was very unfortunate.
06:31He's had to be in the wide-awake club, the goalkeeper, but very cute.
06:35That gig's coming from a deep position.
06:39Mirkovic.
06:42Nzaghi was offside there.
06:47Schultz to Kohl.
06:49Only York for company at the moment.
06:51Kohl taking on Juliano.
06:53And he goes to really well.
06:56And it's actually gone for a throw-in.
06:58But bad distance, Clive.
07:00United's best moments.
07:01Schultz into passing.
07:03Knocks it out of his feet.
07:04All right, he's just playing it across the face there.
07:07Can't really pick a pass.
07:08Maybe could have rolled it across the face.
07:16Kohl was caught by Juliano.
07:19That's what they've done all.
07:20As soon as the ball's fed into them, they haven't let them turn at all.
07:24Juliano and Montero.
07:28Keen to York.
07:30Now Neville.
07:33Beckham.
07:35York.
07:38Beckham has Neville making progress beyond him.
07:41Instead swings it in.
07:42Schultz trying to hit it on the volley.
07:43Mirkovic got to him.
07:44Well won back though by Andy Cole.
07:45Roy Keen!
07:47Now Baruzzi held on well because Dwight York was closing in.
07:51And Keen has smashed one in at that very end of Old Trafford against Bayern Munich.
07:55A little earlier in the campaign.
07:56Looking for glory again.
08:02Headed by Ferrara.
08:06Schultz to Stam.
08:07Now Irwin.
08:09Now can Cole get in behind Ferrara.
08:12Three in support of Andy Cole.
08:13Taking on Ferrara on the outside.
08:15Cole's done well to put it back.
08:17It's Giggs!
08:18Oh a hit of Hansson.
08:19He Schultz!
08:20Oh big shout for Handball.
08:23Well the referee shakes his head and gives a goal kick.
08:27I'm pretty convinced you know if this hadn't fallen to a United player.
08:30There goes well there Cole smashes it across.
08:33If that hadn't fallen to a United player then I think the ref might have blown.
08:36The ref's in a great position.
08:38But I think he thought Paul Schultz was going to nick this away.
08:42Certainly it's Paul's at hand you have to say that.
08:44It's Juliano.
08:45But there I think the referee is saying go on stick it away.
08:48That gets me out of jail.
08:52Edgar Davids.
08:55And all the surging run.
08:56Didier Deschamps.
08:58Trying to help it on to Zidane.
09:00He's found in Zagy and Wittingly.
09:03Now space for Conte.
09:05Problems here.
09:06It's Zinedine Zidane!
09:08And in that position you might have expected a little bit more from the European and World Footballer of the
09:14Year.
09:14That's going to stand as a warning though to United.
09:16All right they want to equalise.
09:17They can't afford just to go charging forward.
09:21However much Manchester United learned from their experiences against Milan.
09:25Last month they're learning a little bit more here.
09:29From Italian opposition.
09:30Beckham.
09:31Hung up towards Giggs.
09:33Pulled back now.
09:34Andy Cole.
09:35Late claim to the ball.
09:37Looks to set up.
09:37Roy Keane.
09:38And Sheringham got a touch.
09:40And Manchester United.
09:41Oh no!
09:41And the linesman at the very last moment raises flag.
09:45The goal will be ruled out.
09:48Talk about a late flag.
09:50I'm not sure he was wrong by the way.
09:53Because Sheringham got a touch.
09:54To the Keane shot.
09:58Just sets it in here.
09:59And Keane as he's done on two or three occasions.
10:03Now then this is going to be very tight.
10:05I'll tell you what.
10:06He must have some optician that linesman to have spotted that.
10:13Sheringham has done well to link up here with Giggs.
10:16Ryan Giggs taking on Ciro Ferrara.
10:19Hung up towards Andy Cole.
10:20And Scholes!
10:23He's the man who wanted the chance to drop to.
10:25But Paul Scholes could not convert it.
10:29But that's the sort of thing I think Giggs should have been doing a lot more of the game.
10:33Getting in the last third.
10:34Just producing balls.
10:35They have given up a problem when he's done that.
10:39There are going to be three added minutes.
10:44Cole trying to break in behind Giuliano.
10:46Is this the moment for Andy Cole?
10:48Oh Perunzi took him out surely!
10:50Nothing doing.
10:55Well he knocked it past the keeper who collided with him.
10:58I think what's gone in his favour when we have a look on the replay when we get it.
11:00I think you'll find that there's a recovering defender that may just have made sure he wasn't going to score.
11:06I think if that was going in, it got into the net, Perunzi might have had a real problem there.
11:12Oh with most respect, whether it was going in or not is not relevant to the penalty decision.
11:17Here's Beckham.
11:19Hooked in towards Sheringham.
11:20Perunzi stretched again.
11:22In goes Cole.
11:22In goes Giggs!
11:24He's got it!
11:26A lifeline from Manchester United.
11:28Has been thrown out by Ryan Giggs in stoppage time at Old Trafford.
11:35They pressed and pressed and eventually they were rewarded.
11:43And a classic goal but it's in the air.
11:46There's a little touch on there.
11:47Sheringham keeps it in the danger zone.
11:49Defender doesn't clear.
11:50Giggs gets in and he's cluttering defenders and he's done well to keep control of his shot there.
11:57Ryan Giggs is 75th Manchester United goal.
12:02A landmark for him.
12:04And that's the scoreline which at half time Alex Ferguson said, I'll take.
12:10Bill, one or two close shaves.
12:11I mean, did you get a feeling you just weren't going to get a goal?
12:14It worked our way for a long time.
12:15On the offside where the goal was disallowed.
12:17The linesman flagged well after, well after the goal was in the net.
12:22I thought that was, whether it was offside or not, he still was very, very late with his flag.
12:26Teddy, did you think you were offside or don't you know?
12:28Well, I did, yeah.
12:30You know it as a player, you know, for the straightaway my instinct was I was offside.
12:35I was about a yard offside.
12:36But as I've ended it and the ball's gone in, I've turned around and looked at the linesman and he's
12:40kept his flag down.
12:41So I've started celebrating and I've seen all the players run over to the linesman and realised that he'd given
12:45it as a late shout.
12:46I mean, he must have taken six seconds to put his flag up, which is quite a long time.
12:51Why do you think that happened?
12:52I don't know.
12:53I don't know.
12:53Perhaps he thought the ball went straight in and then when he's realised that he's taken a deflection, then he's
12:57decided that it was offside.
12:59I mean, there's no...
