Juventus 1-2 Manchester United: 5 Hits and Flops

#1 Hit: Juan Mata

Mata watches on as his sweetly-struck effort flies over the Juventus wall goalwards

Replacing Alexis Sánchez with just over ten minutes left to play, Jose knew his side needed a response and quickly.

Just like he did against Newcastle during United's comeback, the creative Spaniard conjured up a moment of brilliance to help his side earn a foothold in the match - one which could have easily been settled before his introduction.

Pogba was fouled on the edge of the box by Matuidi and Mata stepped up to strike. His effort was a brilliant one, lifting it up and over the wall towards Wojciech Szczesny's far post and watching it swerve in within a flash. 1-1, it was game on with time ticking down and Juventus struggling from their sudden change in formation and personnel - which only served to invite more pressure on their goal.

The visitors scored once more, this time in bizarre circumstances from an Ashley Young free-kick - but Mata's goal set the tone in a fortunate smash-and-grab away victory.
