A real chance for United. Rafael picks out Giggs with a delightful ball but the midfielder can only head over. He should have hit the back of the net and Sir Alex Ferguson knows it.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL FOR UNITED. VAN PERSIE.</b>

Giggs makes up for his earlier miss as he picks out Van Persie with a superb cross-field ball. The striker brings it down with a great touch before slotting past Jaaskelainen. Top goal.
