Key events

Maguire has come up with quite a few goals for United when needed, but last night’s header certainly has to be up there:

If you looked madness up in the dictionary you would probably describe it as that game. A crazy game and unbelievable to be on the right side of the result, and yet we’ve created great memories for a lot of our fans. We’ve made them happy and given them lots to talk about, good and bad.

We made really hard work of it, I must say. We don’t do things easily! Half-time at 2-0 up, we had full control. I think even in the second half, I feel like we had chances to score a third. Then they score a third out of nowhere, bit of a pinball goal which put us on the back foot and they manage to get that equaliser.

To go 4-2 down against ten men in extra time is nowhere near good enough, we opened ourselves up too much. They are a good team, have some good forwards, play great football. But we dug in, showed great spirit, and that is what this stadium does and to come back like that is an incredible performance from everyone in the final minutes.

I felt like the fourth goal for them was a real suckerpunch. Even going 3-2 down I felt like we were gonna get chances.

Obviously [the chance] fell to myself and I put it in the back of the net, which was an amazing feeling.
