Marseille have one back, although Manchester United's Paul Scholes will claim otherwise having hooked the ball out of the net - he's got no case at all as the ball was at least three yards over the line when he got it away. It was Wes Brown who looks to have gotten the last touch, accidentally heading a corner straight past Edwin van der Sar and handing Marseille a crucial lifeline in this match. It was a Scholes error that set up the corner, the midfielder giving the ball away 25 yards from his goal. Loic Remy's shot was deflected behind for the initial corner, which was put behind by Fabio da Silva, but the defending didn't work so well the second time around.

So, that's Javier Hernandez's second goal cancelled out, then. Can Marseille get a second? United look very very vulnerable now - they're making too many mistakes at the back and their set piece defence is something approaching abysmal. The own goal for Brown is rather thoroughly deserved, considering his performance.
