00:06These two clubs do not yet believe they are nearly battling for second place.
00:14And away we go, out wide to Jumper, challenge was by Ainsay and already a free kick to Arsenal.
00:23I have to say, sometimes referees have a responsibility.
00:28Keane didn't really control it, goal goes down, and the referee says goal kicked.
00:34See what I mean, there wasn't even any contact there.
00:38I just wondered, as it got away from Roy Keane, I thought if he launches into this tackle, there's trouble
00:43up here.
00:47Took to deflection, that'll be a corner.
00:50Well, we could see that, he had Gary Neville on the outside, could have used him, could have played him
00:55in.
00:57The shot never really looked up.
01:00But it's wet, it's flattish, and because it's damp and wet, it's not so likely to be as bumpy.
01:08With a lot of space, he's got Henri there waiting, here's Pires arriving.
01:13Now it's Thierry Henry, and a great block by Ferdinand.
01:17Ah, we just took a little too long.
01:21Gave them a chance, they've got an opportunity, Silvers gets on the wrong side.
01:25They've almost got 3v2 in it.
01:27United's defence, which has been resolute of late.
01:32Henri, he's got it, there's a turn, and a goal!
01:34They've done it with Pierre!
01:35The skipper, the man involved in the front car, in the tunnel, has really struck now.
01:45He's marked tight enough.
01:47Just for a moment, I wonder if Eintze had gotten the touch on this.
01:51There's Eintze that's trying to mark him from the back post to the middle of the goal,
01:55they both go in, but it's the height advantage.
01:58Patrick Guerra doesn't out-jump him, he just muscles him.
02:00It's as simple as that, muscles him out of the way, watch this, look at the tussle there.
02:05He's got a barrier to deal with.
02:06Junberg, taking on Eintze.
02:08Free kick.
02:10Well, that's the possibility of the match.
02:17...side, a lot so far with Giggs switching to the right.
02:22Oh, goal is caught by Giggs there, and...
02:25...Marian Poll again very, very quickly on the scene.
02:30He might have to join the United Nations before the night's out.
02:37Yellow for Giggs.
02:39So far, he's hardly had a kick.
02:41Oh, he's hung his leg out there.
02:42Yeah, no, he's had a kick now, all right.
02:46Yeah, he just hung the leg out.
02:47The ball bounces up.
02:48I mean, it's not so much attack as you hang a leg out.
02:51And he just catches it as it's coming down.
02:54Here is Skars.
02:56Rooney trying to pull away into space, he's done that too.
02:58Lovely, back to Giggs, deflected and in!
03:00United a level!
03:05Ryan Giggs with the goal for Manchester United.
03:17So Campbell, he just dwelt on it.
03:20And he should know better than that.
03:21But what about this for Vision?
03:24Young player like Rooney, I thought, he's going to pull the trigger.
03:27It's Middlesbrough all over.
03:28A bit away from Seagull, into the space.
03:31It's still Rooney.
03:33Other players arriving now.
03:35And it was Ronaldo who got on the end of it.
03:37And suddenly, United spring to life.
03:39Well, he left Seagull.
03:41He absolutely leaves him here.
03:44Two options.
03:45I wonder if Ronaldo could have gone over it.
03:47It is.
03:49Goes down.
03:50Graham Paul says no penalty.
03:52That's a penalty for me.
03:53Oh, big, big call.
03:55That's a penalty for me.
03:58I don't think Solvesque gets any of the ball.
04:05Bergkamp on the call.
04:07Oh, he was looking for that top corner.
04:09They can't allow that.
04:12The only surprise here is that Dennis Bergkamp hasn't punished him.
04:16Can't allow him to.
04:17A little conflagration with Alan Shearer.
04:20Fletcher just leaving his legs in a little there with Perez.
04:24Perez is the one that the referee actually wants a one with.
04:26I think there was a lot of reaction.
04:29After the tackle.
04:31Dispossessed by Cristiano Ronaldo.
04:33Who goes to ground.
04:35And surely that's a Manchester United free goal.
04:37Yeah, it is.
04:38As soon as Ronaldo get in front of Patrick Vieira.
04:41He has blown it.
04:42It's inside!
04:43Oh!
04:44And it whiffled.
04:45About a yard wide, I think.
04:47Yeah.
04:50And we still talk about a goalkeeper's reaction.
04:52Almunia knows this as well.
04:54Flomini getting forward.
04:56Henri.
04:58Bergkamp.
04:58Chance for us.
04:59Not a one!
05:00Dennis Bergkamp!
05:02Oh!
05:02And it was a victory goal!
05:07Great move.
05:08Flomini's movement.
05:09All important.
05:10He joined in.
05:11Really high up the pitch.
05:13And because of that, they were able to work.
05:16Look at Flomini.
05:16Well, that shouldn't happen when they've got three in midfield.
05:19But I wonder about the goalkeeper.
05:21Through his legs.
05:23It's the power that beats him.
05:24But, we'll pick the bones out of that one again.
05:27Because the goalkeeper's beating on his near post.
05:30Straight through the legs.
05:32And when you're in that situation like this, it's no time for finesse.
05:36He's that type of player.
05:37But he knows Bergkamp.
05:38So what does he do?
05:39He puts his...
05:41Seagorn's interception.
05:42But Giggs finds Rooney, who's got the wrong side of goal.
05:45It's Wayne Rooney with a chance of an equaliser.
05:47And Almunia perform the heroics.
05:50Ah, there lies a difference.
05:52Almost identical chances.
05:54But if anything, Rooney's is easier.
05:56Great ball from Giggs.
05:58First time.
05:59And this is easier.
06:00He's got less of an angle.
06:02More to hit.
06:04Glenn Turner making that big decision.
06:07Bergkamp again, who looks full of it.
06:08Bergkamp!
06:09Oh!
06:10It was wonderful work from Bergkamp.
06:12And this time, Carroll denies it.
06:14He thought he had his shirt pulled.
06:18Brilliant.
06:20Look at this.
06:20Rooney again.
06:21And there's an infringement.
06:27Again.
06:29It kicks off on that far side.
06:30Ronaldo goes to get the ball back.
06:32This game is just simmering, simmering all the time, you feel.
06:37Henri and Ronaldo.
06:39And whistle.
06:40The Arsenal fans celebrate.
06:42Dennis Bergkamp's strike.
06:44The difference between the sides.
06:462-1.
06:47Went between Roy Carroll's legs.
06:50It wasn't.
06:50Yeah, there's a lot in this left.
06:52And just cut out.
06:56And he's usually been right.
06:57Now then.
06:58Jumberg.
06:58Has found Henri!
07:00Oh!
07:01Sylvest had to get there.
07:02And did.
07:04Yeah.
07:04Had to see his touch let him down.
07:06But when he plays it through.
07:07If he chases it on his left side.
07:10Dennis Bergkamp.
07:11He's still got it.
07:12Look at the control.
07:14And he set up Lauren on this side.
07:16And it came off.
07:17I'd say it might have even deflected into his own goal on the wrong night.
07:21But it's gone for a corner.
07:23Super run.
07:25Don't know how much it might take out of him runs like that.
07:27Perez.
07:29Swings it in there.
07:30And Campbell!
07:31He was up for the header.
07:32Up early.
07:33Just took a raid as they see it.
07:36On the shoulders.
07:37Free kick given.
07:38Knows him down.
07:41Rooney.
07:42Looks to pick up Giggs.
07:44Beautiful ball.
07:45To Ronaldo.
07:46Chance.
07:46Manchester United.
07:47Goal!
07:48Manchester United.
07:49Cristiano Ronaldo.
07:51Squares it up again.
07:53Well.
07:53Top, top class football.
07:56At breathtaking pace.
07:59Unbelievable.
08:00You just watch this.
08:02Ball goes dead.
08:03Watch how quick this is between free kick and goal.
08:05How many touches there are.
08:07So few touches.
08:09So quick movement.
08:10Not a player in the Manchester United strip.
08:12Takes more than two touches of the ball.
08:15And they just carve Arsenal walls there.
08:17Watch.
08:17It's Rooney.
08:19Oh.
08:19It hit the angle of Poston Bar I believe.
08:22Unless Armoni had got a hand there.
08:24I don't think he did.
08:25No.
08:26Goodness me.
08:28Great effort.
08:30Brilliant from Rooney.
08:31Manchester.
08:33Keen.
08:35United looking a little bit rampant at the moment.
08:37And Giggs.
08:39It's Ronaldo.
08:40It must be it is.
08:41Manchester United lead 3-2.
08:44Goalkeeper.
08:45Oh my goodness me.
08:46What a turnaround here.
08:47Goalkeeper.
08:48Goalkeeper.
08:49Goalkeeper.
08:50Goalkeeper.
09:09Goalkeeper.
09:14Goalkeeper.
09:15Goalkeeper.
09:17Goalkeeper.
09:18Goal manager said C Costa.
09:19Miss and he gets anything on it.
09:20He scores.
09:21But I have no idea what's in Almoni's mind.
09:24No idea.
09:27Well I said early goals sometimes give special games
09:30that extra ingredient.
09:32And the early goals certainly does.
09:33Look out of spice back there.
09:34Arsenal are short, at the back.
09:36Ronaldo couldn't get anything on it.
09:38Kick to the ground.
09:39Kick the ground.
09:44a huge complaint from Thierry Henry
09:46because he thought
09:46they were having a right little battle there
09:54I was watching it, Sylvester
09:55Sylvester and Dennis Bergkamp
09:57were having the right set too
09:58now there's a coming together with Sylvester and JĂĽrgen Berg
10:01not sure what went on
10:02that's a red car, he's sent off Sylvester
10:04he says he's butted him
10:06off goes Mikael Sylvester
10:08well if he's butted him, he's absolutely raven bonkers
10:13that's why you feel for him
10:15he's on a hat track, he's had a fantastic influence in the second half
10:18and he must have been thinking
10:20if I get a break away I've got a chance of getting a hat
10:22and Cole
10:23now here is Ray
10:24first touch is a great one to Cole
10:28Bergkamp
10:28JĂĽrgen Berg on the turn
10:29and it's saved by Roy Carroll
10:32he didn't really get a proper contact on it
10:35no, rather choked into the ground
10:37but this is this left hand side
10:39when it's spinning behind him
10:40with Sol Campbell who did some really sterling work
10:43to deny him
10:44and he got caught
10:46Campbell is down injured at the moment
10:48yep, he got caught
10:49and wants treatment too
10:51well he had to defend really well
10:54looks like the right hand
10:56Henry
10:57Thierry Henry
10:58and it was way way off target
11:00in the end
11:01won't come for him
11:07no good of chance is this
11:08yeah it's all very tight
11:09Henry Youngberg
11:10as he's got him behind
11:11Ainses challenge
11:12Graham Cole waves away
11:14the half-hearted
11:16appeals for a penalty
11:17and that one I agree with
11:20because he
11:20for Arsenal
11:21Henry with his back to the goal
11:22oh didn't he do well
11:24to get in an effort
11:25but straight down
11:25Carroll's throat
11:26he hit it too well
11:29he gets a bit of slice on this
11:31and it goes in the corner
11:36Scholes
11:36look at this
11:37he's got O'Shea in behind
11:38and this is the clincher
11:40oh you bet it is
11:414-2
11:42that's it
11:43Manchester United
11:44game set a match
11:45and it was some finish that
11:47from John O'Shea
11:49well it was O'Shea's finish
11:51it was quite exquisite
11:52but what about Gabriel Ainses part in this
11:55you think in his left back
11:56you're not going anywhere
11:57but he certainly thinks
11:59yes I am
11:59there's something on here
12:00and what a ball from Scholes
12:02just what a ball
12:04outside of the foot
12:05vision
12:06in stoppage time
12:07there's plenty of it
12:08but the game looks up
12:09unless
12:10well Bergkamp with a header
12:12Carroll with the save
12:13and he'll ask the question
12:15from that sort of distance
12:16you expect your goalkeeper to save it
12:18unless
12:19it's got a bit more loop in it
12:20tries to work something
12:21with Henri
12:22and Reyes' challenge
12:24on Keane
12:25was a bit on the naughty side
12:27Graham Powell's work
12:28isn't done for the night yet
12:30I just thought it was a missed time tackle
12:33I didn't think it was any nasty
12:33in it
12:34that was the last action
12:36what a night
12:37for Alex Ferguson
12:40who does
12:41quickly shake hands
12:42with Arsene Wenger
12:44what a win
12:45what a win
12:46for Manchester United
12:48three second half goals
12:50they win it
12:51they go into second place
12:52and they do the double
12:54over Arsenal
12:55in this
12:57acrimonious season
12:59between the two clubs
13:02Manchester United's
13:04championship dream
13:05lives on
