Three goals in the last 10 minutes of the match helped United to reach the knock out stage of the Champions League this season. Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez scored in the final minutes of the match, two days after Sir Alex marked his 26th anniversary at Old Trafford. United joined Malaga and Porto who were through to the knock outs just from 4 games from a probable 6.

Sir Alex is very satisfied as they failed to qualify for the knock outs last season. Ryan Giggs said "I think we were all disappointed (we didn't progress from the group stage last year)," He also added "It was not good enough and we knew we had to do something about it and we have. Long may it continue."
