Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, Lille must win at Old Trafford where their hosts have lost just once in their last 27 UEFA Champions League games. • Ryan Giggs' 83rd-minute free-kick was the difference between the teams when they met in Lens on 20 February - and inflicted a first UEFA Champions League home defeat on Claude Puel's side. • The result leaves Lille needing to repeat their heroics of Matchday 6 when a 2-0 win at AC Milan – courtesy of Peter Odemwingie and Kader Keita - carried them into the knockout rounds for the first time. That was Lille's first away win in the UEFA Champions League in nine attempts, including this season’s 1-1 draw at RSC Anderlecht and 1-0 defeat at AEK Athens FC. • It is eleven years since the only occasion a side recovered from a first-leg home defeat in the UEFA Champions League. Then holders AFC Ajax achieved the feat in their 1995/96 semi-final against Panathinaikos FC, bouncing back from a 1-0 reverse with a 3-0 triumph in Greece.

  • Man Utd Destroys City with Owen's Injury Time Goal 10:15, September 21, 2009
    Man Utd destroys City with Owen's injury time goal 10:15, September 21, 2009 Manchester City showed a never-say-die attitude in their Sunday's derby by drawing level three times at Old Trafford, but Man United substitute Michael Owen wrecked their hope of snatching one point with a stunning goal in the stoppage time. Togo ace Emmanuel Adebayor's absence due to a three-match ban weakened City's attack, but Carlos Tevez was back to the pitch after resting for two weeks because of a knee injury. The Argentina striker was so aggressive in front of his ex-club that he stole the ball from a hesitating United keeper Ben Foster before assisting Gareth Barry to shot home in the 16th minutes. But it was only an equalizer as Wayne Rooney had put United ahead after two minutes. Being overlooked by United boss Sir Alex Ferguson in the previous two seasons, Tevez was thirsty for the derby after joining City this Summer. But he squandered his best chance of punishing United as he stroke the post in close range on the stroke of half-time, United managed to claimed an early lead again when Darren Fletcher nodded in Ryan Giggs's fine cross four minutes after the break, but Craig Bellamy fired home three minutes later to snuff United joy quickly. The defending champions then surged to attack ceaselessly, but Shay Given disappointed them by making two brilliant saves to Dimitar Berbatov's threatening headers and turned a powerful drive from Giggs over the top. It seemed that Ferguson was quite unsatisfied with the result and he replaced Belgarian Berbatov with Owen on 77 minutes.
