00:00Manchester United were the visitors to the Valley in December 2000
00:04Their aim to beat Charlton Athletic and remain top of the table
00:09The two sides had only met twice in the Premiership
00:11United winning on both occasions
00:14The last time Charlton had recorded a win against the Red Devils was back in 1986
00:20South African striker Sean Bartlett, a recent signing from FC Zurich
00:24made his full debut for the Addicts
00:26A lack of goals had been their main problem
00:29They'd failed to score in three of their previous four matches
00:32Their strength was at the back, where Mark Fish, a recent signing from Bolton
00:36had helped marshal a defence that had only conceded four goals at home in the league
00:42Raymond van der Haal made only his second Premiership start of the season for United
00:46in place of the injured Fabian Baertes
00:50Sir Alex Ferguson made five changes to the team that had beaten Sturm Graz in the Champions League
00:55Paul Scholes, Dennis Irwin and top scorer Teddy Sheringham were all on the bench
01:00Dwight York wasn't in the 16
01:02In came Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
01:05and youngster Luke Chadwick for only his second Premiership start
01:10Steve Lodge, the man in charge on a muddy afternoon in South East London
01:15Your match commentator is Ian Crocker
01:18So Manchester United get us off and running at the Valley
01:23Charlton Athletic, the latest team to try and stop
01:28what appears to be another Championship charge from this tremendously talented team
01:37Nicky Butt has been hanging on to his place in the team and rightly so lately
01:42never lets them down
01:44Kinsella clears that though
01:47Wes Brown, assisted by Silvestre
01:51Now Beckham
02:01That one's floated towards Solako
02:04and an early chance here for Charlton
02:07and John Solako
02:09and a glimpse of goal
02:10and John Solako
02:12and a glimpse of goal
02:14in the opening minute
02:18Jenson
02:20cut out by Gary Neville who also blocked Solako's effort
02:24Solako trying again though
02:27this time it's cut out by Captain Keane
02:34Silvestre
02:36aimed towards Solskjaer
02:37and it's found him
02:38Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
02:39brave goalkeeping from Dean Kylie
02:42it did spin away a little bit from Solskjaer
02:51and he smothered it
02:55Klaus Jenson pointing to where he wanted it
02:57and he's got it
03:00and now Jenson has put Powell in
03:03and Powell's cross
03:04what a spectacular save
03:06Johansson's header
03:07pushed away by Raymond van der Haal
03:12and Charlton
03:13so very nearly made
03:15a flying start
03:19Jonathan Johansson with plenty of power on it
03:21but all credit to the keeper
03:23Jenson's corner
03:25Bartlett was the nearest Charlton body to it
03:27it's not cleared yet though
03:29Solako
03:30that was a brave header by Gary Neville
03:32but it was a high boot from Richard Rufus in there
03:34and it'll be a free kick to Manchester United
03:38and they've
03:39taken it very very quickly
03:41Giggs
03:42with a typical turn of pace
03:44and Kylie
03:45has to come and smother again
03:47Brian Giggs back in the starting line-up
03:49after some
03:50fleeting appearances from the bench
03:52recently scored in midweek
03:54to finish off
03:55the Austrians of Sturm Graz in the Champions League
04:00Solako
04:02Powell
04:04well there was no doubt whatsoever
04:05that Charlton would
04:08go for it right from the start here
04:15Foul
04:16by Solskjaer on
04:18Rufus
04:22and they think a lot of him in this part of the world
04:32Kylie's kick
04:34met by Gary Neville
04:37Chadwick got something on it
04:38now Solskjaer
04:39gives it back to Beckham
04:41cut out though by
04:42Charlton's captain Kinsella
04:47Powell
04:48up towards Johansson
04:53and here is the
04:54Finn again
04:55Johansson's cross
04:56Bartlett
04:57oh it's somehow
04:59it's somehow stayed out
05:05so
05:06so
05:07so close
05:09but Charlton
05:11are rattling the champions
05:13in the opening stages
05:14of this game
05:16and it was nearly
05:17a dream full debut
05:19for Sean Bartlett
05:28Rufus
05:30now Fish
05:35Hull
05:36Hull
05:37Hull
05:38Hull
05:39Kylie Kylie
05:40Kylie Kylie
05:41back to Johansson
05:42Wes Brown in the way
05:43Hull
05:44Hull
05:45Hull
05:46Hull
05:47Hull
05:48Hull
05:49Hull
05:50and Kerbishley's excellent effort at Charlton over the years
05:52haven't gone unnoticed
05:53and he's been linked with a
05:54job in the England set-up
05:55maybe his under-21 coach
06:00now
06:01Stuart's cross
06:02and it's in this time
06:03First time from Bartlett! He has done it!
06:09Charlton are really giving it a go against the champions
06:17And dreams do come true because Sean Bartlett has scored on his full debut
06:26Against the team of his dreams too, his boyhood idols, Manchester United
06:34Graham Stewart the provider
06:47Now Kinsella
06:49Now this has been kept in by Roy Keane
07:07David Beckham's in a bit of space, he's going to have a go surely when it was blocked by Fisch
07:11But they were inviting him to have a blast
07:13Now though there's no flag and Johansson is away!
07:16Jonathan Johansson! Oh! Just wide
07:24Oh dear it could have been 2-0 to Charlton
07:28With less than a quarter of an hour gone
07:34Manchester United sleeping a little bit
07:37Nicky Butt
07:47Beckham to Solskjaer but hooked away by Fisch
07:54Silvestre
07:56Close control from Solskjaer
08:01Now Chadwick
08:04It's going to break to Roy Keane, thought about hitting it first time, needed to do what he's done
08:10Cut out by Fisch who then sliced it behind for a corner
08:14You really do have to keep your concentration when Manchester United are in town
08:19That is for sure
08:32Beckham
08:35And Phil Nibble
08:38Pings it wide, hardly a prolific scorer for Manchester United
08:44So perhaps it wasn't too surprising where it ended up
08:50Kylie's kick aimed towards Johansson
08:53Bounces through to Bartlett
08:55Free kick with a little nudge in his back by Wes Brown
09:00Just a couple of England caps so far for Brown but plenty more to come, rest assured
09:09Half an hour played at the Valley, Charlton Athletic League, Manchester United by
09:13Sean Bartlett's goal on his full debut
09:19He waits for this free kick
09:30Klaus Jensen went for goal!
09:32Oh it was a wonderful save from van der Haal
09:36Because for more than a moment it looked like that one was going to fly in
09:44Tremendous try though from Jensen who now takes the corner
09:47And van der Haal struggling a little bit
09:49And Richard Rufus was on the end of it
09:54But couldn't quite get it down
09:57But Charlton really are giving an excellent account of themselves here
10:02And that was close
10:08Cut out by Silvestre
10:12And...
10:15Kishichev
10:17Closed in
10:19A throw in in favour of United
10:26Keane
10:28Trying to lead by example but he won't do it like that
10:31A miserable effort from the captain
10:32Who hasn't scored yet this season in fact
10:36Which is rather strange because last season was his best
10:39In terms of goals
10:41For United
10:47Henry Keane and Mark Kinsella
10:49Play together in the Republican Island midfield
10:53But...
10:56Up against each other
10:58In this one
10:59Now handball I think that was by Johansson
11:02Indeed it was
11:04Good spot that by Stegen Lodge
11:08Oh Solskjaer is going to latch on to this
11:11Giggs is arriving in the middle
11:13And here he is
11:15Brian Giggs!
11:16Oh yes!
11:20Giggs plants it firmly in the corner
11:22Panic over for Manchester United but...
11:24Were they really panicking?
11:30It's 1-1
11:33And another fine finish
11:36From Giggs
11:37He only needed the slightest glimpse of goal
11:44Steered it past Kylie
11:47And...
11:49We are all square
11:50At the valley
11:51And he's the reason why
11:53And Giggs now has seen Karni off his line
11:55He's gone for it!
11:56Oh he hit the bar!
11:57But Solskjaer puts the rebound in!
12:01Absolutely unbelievable!
12:03Totally incredible!
12:08Wow!
12:10No wonder he's smiling
12:11No wonder they're smiling
12:15Well, well
12:18Remember David Beckham at Wimbledon?
12:21Brian Giggs
12:24Well that so nearly went in itself
12:26But Solskjaer
12:29Was banking
12:31On any rebound
12:33Quite extraordinary
12:35Manchester United have turned it round
12:37In a matter of seconds
12:41Brian Giggs nearly scored his second
12:45But what a wonderful try
12:48From the supremely talented player
12:52Beckham
13:01It's half-time
13:03And a quite fantastic first half
13:04Sean Bartlett gave Charlton the lead
13:08And they really started in superb fashion
13:10And deserved that lead
13:12Bartlett scoring on his full debut
13:14But Sir Alex Ferguson's team
13:16Turned it around
13:17And he was at the centre of things
13:19Brian Giggs
13:20With the equaliser
13:22Tremendously taken
13:23And then
13:24He lobbed one from
13:26Maybe over 40 yards onto the bar
13:29And guess who was waiting
13:30To bounce on the rebound
13:32Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
13:34With his 51st
13:35Premiership goal
13:40Giggs
13:41Keane
13:45Silvestre
13:46It opens up a little bit for him actually
13:48And he goes for goal
13:50And it whistles over
13:54But he hasn't scored yet
13:55For Manchester United
13:56Mikhail Silvestre
13:58But this was a fine try
14:01Kinsella
14:02To Kishichev
14:04The Bulgarian on a burst
14:07But his cross is met by Giggs
14:09But his cross is met by Gary Neville
14:11Now Chadwick
14:15David Beckham
14:18Beckham looking for Giggs
14:19What a pass
14:20Ryan Giggs
14:22Still he has it
14:23Solskjaer is waiting
14:26Oh and Kylie got back
14:29To keep Charlton hanging in there
14:33Chadwick though delivers again
14:35And Ryan Giggs
14:37Not quite as effective with his head as he is
14:39With his feet
14:42But it's a second goal
14:43Beckham for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
14:45In this match here
14:47Giggs
14:48Well
14:49Kylie
14:50Got something on it
14:51And that proved vital
14:52As indeed did that
15:08Kylie
15:14Powell might have to go back to his keeper
15:16As United
15:18Closed in
15:19Kylie's kick
15:21Here's Bartlett
15:24Now Kinsella
15:26And that was a fair
15:28Whack as well
15:29From Mark Kinsella
15:31Plenty of pace on it
15:32And awkward for van der Haal
15:33But
15:34He smothered it
15:38Giggs
15:39Giggs
15:40Giggs
15:41Giggs
15:42Giggs
15:45Now Giggs
15:46Could be away here
15:47Solskjaer moving in towards the near post
15:51Still Giggs
15:52Roy Keane
15:54Oh it's gone in
15:55Kylie
15:56Couldn't keep it out
15:58And Roy Keane finally has
16:00His first goal of the season
16:04And Manchester United
16:06Seem to be heading
16:07Towards a ninth win on the spin
16:09In the Premiership
16:14Keane
16:16Wasn't sure what to do
16:17So he had a pop-up goal
16:19And he got the better
16:20Of his
16:22Irish international colleague
16:24Kylie
16:25Who will be disappointed about that one really
16:28Kylie couldn't get a grip
16:34Powell
16:35Johansen
16:36On to Stewart
16:39Wes Brown
16:41Snapping away at Stewart
16:42But
16:44Salahko
16:45Will get a cross in
16:46Away by Gary Neville though
16:48And now Nicky Butt
16:50That's going to
16:51Just drift away is it
16:52From David Beckham
16:53Yes it is
16:59Charlton are going to make a change now
17:00And
17:01John Robinson
17:02A popular figure here
17:03Long serving player
17:04Comes on for John Salahko
17:06Robinson has missed
17:07The last three games
17:08With a groin injury
17:10A fiery competitor
17:12He'll put himself
17:13In and about
17:14Manchester United
17:16Robinson on
17:17Salahko
17:18Off
17:19Off
17:32Sylvester
17:35Manchester United have only lost
17:36Two of their last
17:3842
17:39Premiership matches
17:41It says so much
17:43That statistic
17:45Ryan Giggs
17:47Giggs
17:49On the rampage
17:51Kept out by Kylie
17:52But Giggs
17:55Came back off the post I think
17:56And Teddy Sheringham
17:57Couldn't quite turn it in
18:00But Ryan Giggs
18:02Has been
18:04In the mood today
18:07Almost impossible to contend with
18:08When he's in that sort of mood
18:11And Teddy Sheringham
18:13Couldn't quite
18:14Screw it back in
18:15As it canned off
18:16The outside of the post
18:23Sheringham to Scholes
18:24Giggs
18:25Away by Rufus
18:28Phil Neville's header
18:29Will go into touch
18:37Manchester United face
18:38Liverpool next weekend
18:40Charlton go to
18:41Leicester
18:45Kislyashev
18:46Is about to be replaced
18:49But that's a fine cross
18:50From him
18:51And it's in from Bartlett
18:53He's got his second
18:54Of the game
18:55And Charlton have set up
18:56A rousing finale
18:57At the Valley
19:04They just
19:05Refuse to lay down
19:07They just
19:08Refuse to lay down
19:15Sean Bartlett
19:18An instant hit
19:21At the Valley
19:24It's Charlton 2
19:25Manchester United 3
19:27And it's gonna be
19:29Some end to the game now
19:31Giggs
19:33That's gonna be a corner
19:34Off Robinson
19:36The two number 11's
19:37Together
19:38Bartlett
19:40Making a huge impact
19:42On his full debut
19:43In the Premiership
19:50Alex Ferguson in his
19:51Penultimate season as
19:52Manager of Manchester United
19:54Set to take on a different
19:55Role when he retires
19:57He knows his team
19:58Have been made to
19:59Hide all the way here
20:00And
20:02Three points
20:03Are most certainly
20:04Not in the bag yet
20:07Kaj Jensen
20:09Was he tricked?
20:10Yes he was
20:11By Ryan Giggs
20:13And that's a free kick
20:16And all of a sudden
20:19The Charlton fans are
20:20Believing
20:22That maybe they can
20:23Stop Manchester United
20:25In their tracks
20:37Everybody back for
20:38Manchester United
20:39To defend this free kick
20:48The free kick is taken
20:49By Jensen
20:50Tried to cut it round the
20:51Wall
20:52In the end he has to
20:53Knock it back in
20:54And everybody was coming
20:55Out trying to
20:56Stay on side
20:57And it was an opportunity
20:58Wasted really by Charlton
20:59There
21:03Huge kick from
21:04van der Haal
21:07And Fish
21:09Won it
21:11Robert Kisichev won it
21:13And Kisichev has gone
21:14For the return here
21:15And he's been obstructed
21:16By Wes Brown
21:17And that's going to be
21:18A yellow card
21:21Charlton fans calling
21:22For a red
21:24But
21:25That might be a bit hopeful
21:27From their point of view
21:33So Wes Brown gets
21:34A booking
21:36And Charlton get
21:37A free kick
21:44The delay merely
21:45Adds to the tension
21:46At the valley
21:48Klaus Jensen
21:49Tries again
21:51Amazing save
21:52From Raymond van der Haal
21:55It was heading for
21:56The roof of the net
21:57Surely from Jensen
21:59And van der Haal
22:00Got his fingertips
22:01To it
22:04A fantastic finish
22:05To a quite extraordinary game
22:07Jensen's corner
22:09Kinsella
22:11And
22:12It's in
22:13Robinson
22:15John Robinson scores
22:17What a comeback
22:18From Charlton
22:23The valley
22:24Erupts
22:31Sir Alex Ferguson
22:33Can barely believe it
22:34But to be honest
22:36Not many can believe it
22:38This has been
22:39A wonderful game
22:42A captivating contest
22:44Robinson turned
22:45Robinson scored
22:47And it's Charlton 3
22:48Manchester United 3
22:50In one of the games
22:51Of the season
22:52In the Premiership
22:55Van der Haal's kick
22:56Konceski underneath it
22:57Did well
22:58Kinsella
23:01Svensson
23:05Graham Stewart
23:07Wes Brown
23:08Blocked his route to goal
23:09Scholes
23:21Greening
23:27Giggs
23:28Oh he could be in here
23:29Right Giggs
23:30Oh it's flash wide
23:32Was that the last chance
23:33To win it for United
23:37And Ryan Giggs
23:38Who has posed
23:39Problems aplenty for Charlton
23:40Posed another there
23:48Still about a minute or so to go
23:49I reckon
23:51I've ended on time
23:53You wouldn't really want to
23:54Leave this one
23:55Even with a few seconds left
23:56Would you
24:02It's come off Gary Neville
24:03But it's only going to be
24:04A throw
24:05Or is it going to be
24:06A free kick
24:07It is a free kick in fact
24:09Free kick for Charlton
24:10Chance to
24:12Love one into the box here
24:17Mark Fish moves forward
24:28Jensen
24:30Jensen sends it in
24:31But it's
24:32Oh it's fisted away by
24:34Vanderhaal
24:35Referee is looking at his watch
24:36Charlton haven't got much time
24:37To get it back in the box
24:38They've got no time
24:40But it's a great shame
24:41That this game has come to an end
24:42Because it really was
24:43Some match
24:44An enthralling encounter
24:46In South East London
24:47Finishes
24:49Charlton Athletic 3
24:51Manchester United
24:523
24:54Memorable afternoon
24:55And Charlton enjoyed
24:56An excellent season
24:57Back in English football's
24:58Top division
24:59Despite some heavy defeats
25:00Along the way
25:01Their ability to win
25:02Tight matches
25:03They recorded 6
25:041-0 victories
25:05Saw them end their
25:06Campaign in the
25:07Top half of the table
25:08In 9th place
25:09On 52 points
25:12Manchester United
25:13Made themselves
25:14Very difficult to beat
25:15Throughout the season
25:16While retaining their
25:17Attacking verve and swagger
25:19They secured another
25:20Premiership title
25:21Come May
25:22Finishing 10 points clear
25:23Of nearest challenger's
25:24Arsenal
