00:00Once again United kick off, having lost top school to it, down a bit easily there, now Ronaldo, and Nani's
00:07in the competitions, against Tottenham Hotspur, lovely back heel to Nani, Ronaldo goes in, super control from Ronaldo, back came
00:20Robbie Keane to put him off.
00:30Lennon, Benz at the far post, Darren Benz, great chance, well the angle was too much for him, it's a
00:38good job the angle was too much.
00:44Ronaldo, now Ronaldo, Ronaldo, second chance here for Ronaldo, and again, Poblitov was fouled there by Tinas, wasn't he?
00:59Yeah, he caught me in his hand, I think it was accidental, he caught me in his hand.
01:06Can you see Gerry there, there's a left hand catch at the back.
01:09Here he comes, it's Ronaldo, Auckland for the goalkeeper, almost made a mess of it.
01:14Well that's exactly what he was intending doing, but the goal is fortunate, it never came forward, it went to
01:19the side, the flat comes out straight on, it gives somebody a chance to get in on it.
01:25Closed down, but finds Nani.
01:28Come inside and hit this with his right.
01:31Crosses for Bermotov and Ronaldo, and Ronaldo's header, I'm not sure he was facing goal really.
01:36That was a transfer to get Ronaldo to do better there, expecting to hit the target.
01:41I love the little ball in.
01:44Back comes Palacios.
01:48Free kick.
01:49Not to show you about that.
01:51Well, was it a foul by Palacios or would be?
01:54Would be.
01:56No, that is distance.
02:01Struck it well.
02:03Good shot behind the ball here.
02:04Well, it's definitely hit both his hands, there's no question about that.
02:08Now Wayne Rooney.
02:09Rooney goes to goal.
02:11Goal pick.
02:12And they've got the crowd to life that.
02:14Just unfortunately are Darren Fletcher.
02:17A defensive foot.
02:19It's a dangerous ball in towards Ben to enter.
02:22Ben, great chance, 1-0.
02:25Darren, Ben scores for Spurs, and United are going to have to come from behind here.
02:30Ben from close range gets the goal, and it's United 0-0, Spurs 1.
02:34Well, he's lucky he gets the break of the ball, but it doesn't matter.
02:43You can see there's ball into the box.
02:45Just a ball that's thrown in.
02:47And he gets the break here.
02:49Just drops straight at his feet.
02:51You're going to miss from there.
03:10A bit of a disaster, actually.
03:13We were saying the game had started at a very slow pace, United have been doing it at a very
03:16slow tempo.
03:17We've been punished for it.
03:22Yeah, he's the one that causes the problem again.
03:27Ronaldo needs to really step up to the plate if United...
03:31Ronaldo.
03:33Rafael.
03:34Why not have a go?
03:35Struck it well, but Gomez held onto it.
03:37And then he's all done going to it and hold it like that.
03:40And there's a long way out.
03:43But why not?
03:48Ronaldo.
03:49Ronaldo was obstructed there.
03:51He's got it in a bit for that, surely.
03:53That's deliberate.
03:58It's a strike.
04:00Into the wall again.
04:01Second chance.
04:02Great effort and wonderful save by Gomez.
04:05That was dipping in.
04:05Brilliant from the Brazilian.
04:07Yeah, tremendous save.
04:08That was going in the top corner.
04:10He gets it back off the wall and it's going in the top corner.
04:14Don't want to get that away, Volk.
04:16Tremendous save by Gomez.
04:18Great header.
04:19Wayne Rooney strikes.
04:21Gomez there again.
04:24Straight at the goalkeeper.
04:26He's in the right spot for...
04:28Palacios.
04:29He's gone for it.
04:30Why not?
04:30And that wasn't far away.
04:32Nope, not far away.
04:35Can't take the room out there.
04:38Away by Berbatov.
04:39Half time.
04:40Nothing short of a nightmare first 45 minutes for United.
04:44Darren Bent giving Tottenham the lead around the half hour mark.
04:48And a couple of takes something very special for United to rest.
04:52A bit of effort and energy expended.
04:56Free kick goes United's way, even though Bent's gone down.
05:02He's got a problem with his knee.
05:08Bent, you've got Carrick.
05:11Tevez.
05:12Here comes Wayne Rooney.
05:14Rooney shoots deflected.
05:16Corner.
05:17Off key.
05:17Oh, I thought we were going to play it back to Ronaldo here, really.
05:23Here comes that he's looking.
05:24Ronaldo.
05:29Finds Ronaldo.
05:30Here comes Tevez.
05:31Tevez!
05:32Great save by Gomez.
05:33Oh, that was a big moment.
05:34He'd scored then.
05:35United are right back in it.
05:37Well, that's a great bit of football.
05:38The best bit of football of the game so far.
05:41That's a bad ball, Cristiano.
05:43Oh, some frustration from Ronaldo.
05:45He's frustrated with Berbatov.
05:47And a silly kick out at Lennon.
05:49Not in a bad pass from Cristiano.
05:54Carrick.
05:55Michael Carrick's in here.
05:56Ran Gomez must be a penalty.
05:58No, he's got the ball.
05:59Penalty kick.
06:00The goalie got the ball.
06:03The goalie got the ball.
06:06Well, you've got a break, United.
06:09Is he going to be sent off?
06:11That's the question.
06:15No, he's not going to be sent off.
06:16I think the goalkeeper got the ball.
06:20Big moment.
06:22United are back in it.
06:24Ronaldo gets the ball back.
06:25Game on.
06:27Yeah, they wanted a goal early on in the first 15 minutes of the second half.
06:32I've got it.
06:32I've got it.
06:32I've got it.
06:33I've got it.
06:34Number seven, Cristiano Ronaldo.
06:38Ronaldo.
06:40Straight down the middle, he hits it.
06:41Do you know that?
06:42That's exactly what Berbatov done.
06:44I think he hit it a bit harder than Berbatov.
06:46Yeah, it hit it a bit harder.
06:47Yeah.
06:49It's off and he finds Tevez.
06:51Here comes Wayne Rooney.
06:53Rooney's in here.
06:54Rooney gets to Luka.
06:55Rooney!
06:562-2!
06:57United are back in it.
06:58Gomez should have kept it out.
07:00He didn't.
07:01And now the champions are right back in it.
07:0421 minutes gone in the second half.
07:06They've got both goals.
07:08They've showed character.
07:09They've showed resolve.
07:10Can they go on and win it?
07:11And they've showed urgency.
07:12Of course they can go on and win it.
07:14I mean, this is a great bit of football by United.
07:18There's not been hope, but we didn't.
07:20Wayne Rooney.
07:23Ronaldo, it's here.
07:24Ronaldo!
07:25It's one of the great Old Trafford comebacks.
07:29Astonishing.
07:31Astonishing.
07:32Ronaldo has struck.
07:33United have come back from the dead.
07:362-0 down at half-time.
07:37They lead 3-2.
07:39And we've still got a quarter of the game left.
07:41Astounding.
07:42I don't think the scoring's over.
07:43I mean, why should you boot a player that celebrates?
07:46He's going to get booted for that Ronaldo bit.
07:48I think it's crazy.
07:51Crazy game, football, isn't it?
07:56This is wonderful play again.
07:57The cross in.
07:58We've seen Wayne do that so often.
08:01Then Chris Gill from Berbatov.
08:02Now Ronaldo.
08:04United are rampant here.
08:05Ronaldo.
08:06Oh, Rooney's in here.
08:07Wayne Rooney brings it down.
08:09Over the line!
08:10Are you watching Merseyside?
08:12Manchester United have got four.
08:162-0 down at half-time.
08:18They lead 4-2.
08:20Spurs don't know what's hit them.
08:22What has hit them is a remarkable red tide.
08:25United 4, Spurs 2.
08:30I mean, this is true.
08:32That would have been a wake, wouldn't it?
08:33Oh, that would have been a wake, yeah.
08:35It's opened up for him.
08:36Bent.
08:36Great effort.
08:37Oh, dear.
08:37Oh, that's a gracious one.
08:39It would have been another couple of yards out.
08:40That would have been into the post.
08:42It would have been inside the post with a couple of more yards out.
08:44It was bending all the time.
08:46Bending all the time.
08:48I had the goalie scrum, but couldn't take a chance.
08:53Ronaldo.
08:55Victor Berbatov.
08:56Ronaldo hits a play through.
08:57He sees Rooney, though.
08:58Rooney has it.
08:59Come to the back post.
09:00Ronaldo's in the centre.
09:02Rooney.
09:03Berbatov!
09:04Berbatov again.
09:07That's it.
09:08Divotar Berbatov has won it for United.
09:13An incredible comeback from the Reds.
09:17Berbatov bounces back from his Wembley misery.
09:20He's scored against Spurs again.
09:222-0 down.
09:245-2 up.
09:25It is quite mind-blowing.
09:27This is sensational stuff, this, isn't it?
09:32Sensational stuff.
09:33Great ball again from Rinder.
09:35Look at the space he's got.
09:37Berbatov.
09:39Yeah, that'll do Divotar.
09:45Corner.
09:47Oh, they're only 10 minutes in there with three.
09:50Tottenhoch for trails.
09:55That's a great ball in towards Keane.
09:57And what a save from Van der Zhaar.
09:58He made himself big.
09:59The lovely slide roll pass.
10:01This is waiting for it.
10:02Ronaldo's going on his own.
10:03Oh, great ball in.
10:04Oh, it's too heavy.
10:05Too heavy.
10:08It's a little bit too heavy for you.
10:09Berbatov.
10:10Really glad that Berbatov got his goal.
10:12He's played at Ronaldo.
10:13Ronaldo's going through here.
10:15Can he get a hat-trick?
10:15Ronaldo!
10:16No, he can't.
10:18Just what United needed was an early goal in this second half.
10:21What they don't need is to concede another one.
10:23That's a free kick right, sure.
10:25The referee, that's the soul of the book.
10:27That's why we're champions.
10:31Two nil down at half-time.
10:34Five second-half goals in 23 minutes.
10:39Harry Redknapp has seen a lot of things in his football career.
10:42I don't think he's ever seen anything like that.
10:44Rooney and Ronaldo scoring twice each.
10:47And Berbatov getting the fifth.
10:51A quite spellbiding second half.
