Vines: Patrice Evra gives United a lifeline before Bayern equalise just seconds later

As George Hamilton said on RTE, just like the 46A, you wait for ages for a goal and then two come almost at once.

As George Hamilton said on RTE, just like the 46A, you wait for ages for a goal and then two come almost at once.

After playing a solid if not too attacking first half, United managed to manufacture that much needed away goal courtesy of this stunning strike by Patrice Evra of all people.

Yet, less than 60 seconds later, the French defender lost Mandzukic, who headed Bayern right back into the tie. As it stands we are headed to injury time but I have a feeling we will see more goals yet. Update: Just as we hit ‘publish’ Thomas Muller scored for Bayern, putting United in serious trouble with 23 minutes to go. And here’s the Muller goal.  

Update No 2: And now Arjen Robben has made it 3-1 on the night, 4-2 on aggregate.
