United 1 Arsenal 0

United will take a one-goal lead into the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Arsenal thanks to John O'Shea's strike at Old Trafford. The defender slammed home a 17th minute goal to give the Reds a slender advantage to take to the Emirates Stadium next Tuesday.

Gunners keeper Manuel Almunia made some fine first-half saves, Cristiano Ronaldo struck the bar with a stunning, swerving second-half shot and Ryan Giggs was called back for an incorrect offside decision when through on goal.
