UCL: Fellaini rescues Man Utd with late strike to reach last 16

Marouane Fellaini secured a late victory for Manchester United against Young Boys as Jose Mourinho’s men qualified for the Champions League knockout stages.

Fellaini’s strike was United’s first 90th minute winner in a Champions League game since Cristiano Ronaldo vs Sporting in November 2007.

Mourinho’s side had looked set to waste a gilt-edged opportunity to qualify for the last 16 as a resolute Young Boys came within seconds of holding United to a second goalless draw in three days, after Saturday’s stalemate with Crystal Palace.

The hosts were also thankful for a stunning David de Gea save as the Spaniard clawed the ball from off the goal line after Ulisses Garcia’s shot deflected towards the bottom corner.
