Late goals were a trademark of Sir Alex Ferguson’s era so it was fitting that the finest night of his spell in charge finished that way. Although the Scot went on to win the Champions League again nine years later, this was a landmark victory that completed the story for one of the best teams in English football’s history. It spurred him on to create several more fine teams at Old Trafford before his 2013 retirement. The Scot finished with two Champions Leagues, a Cup Winners’ Cup, 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups and four League Cups.
