a stunning victory in the European Cup thanks to injury-time goals
from Sheringham and Solksjaer. The win, against a Bayern side who
led for 85 minutes of the game, saw United obtain what no English
club has achieved - the treble of Premiership, FA Cup and European
Cup. With three minutes of injury time awarded, United looked dead
and buried, despite a frantic effort during the final quarter of
the match.
But when Ryan Giggs turned a David Beckham corner back into the
box, Sheringham steered it home to secure an unlikely equaliser.
The United fans looked relieved - seconds later they looked elated.
From the kick-off, United again stole possession forcing another
corner, with Solskjaer striking Sheringham's header first-time into
the roof of the net. It gave United the most thrilling of victories
- and came on the day the Reds' other European Cup winning manager,
the late Sir Matt Busby, would have celebrated his 90th birthday.
