Manchester United Vs. Manchester City, 2011 Community Shield: Nani Levels Match With Beautiful Goal

Good grief, that's an absolutely wonderful goal for Manchester United. Five minutes ago, Sir Alex Ferguson's side were down 2-0. Now it's 2-2, and although Nani will get the credit for the goal it was the product of absolutely sublime team play. Tom Cleverly and Wayne Rooney play some astonishingly good one touch football after being supplied by the Portuguese winger, weaving the ball through City's bewildered defence and releasing Nani once more. He finished off the move by crashing an unsaveable shot past Joe Hart to level the score.

Roberto Mancini immediately makes an change, replacing Mario Balotelli with Gareth Barry, which makes less than zero sense. Balotelli walks off down the tunnel - to steal a joke, that goal was so good that he's clearly decided to retire. United could have added to their second half tally a few minutes after that, but Joe Hart was finally equal to something, keeping out Wayne Rooney's angled drive. Quite a turnaround, this.
