Record-breaking Rooney snatches draw for United
Wayne Rooney made Manchester United history as he scored with seconds remaining to secure a 1-1 Premier League draw away to Stoke City.
The captain's emphatic free-kick in the fourth minute of injury time took him to 250 goals for the club, one clear of previous record scorer Bobby Charlton, and salvaged a point to extend United's unbeaten run to 17 games in all competitions.
A first-half own goal from Juan Mata had looked enough to give Mark Hughes's side a third win in its last four league encounters at home to United and inflict a damaging blow on the visitor's top-four chances.
Mata missed a golden chance to equalise in the first half, while Paul Pogba also came close, but an organised defensive performance from Stoke kept it at arm's length for much of the contest.
United rescued a late draw against Liverpool at Old Trafford last week but it looked insipid in attack before Rooney, on as a substitute, curled in from 20 yards out moments before the final whistle.
The result lifts Stoke onto 28 points while United moves on to 41, three behind fourth-place Arsenal, having played a game more.
