Giggs reaches landmark in win
Ryan Giggs scored his 150th Manchester United goal, then set up Michael Carrick for the winner as the Red Devils came from behind to beat Wolfsburg 2-1.[LNB]Giggs became the ninth United player to reach the milestone, although his free-kick needed a hefty deflection before beating Diego Benaglio.[LNB]However, it was not such a great night for Michael Owen who, after being picked to start in front of watching England coach Fabio Capello, lasted just 20 minutes before limping off with a groin injury.[LNB]United had been the better side, but the visitors opened the scoring when Makoto Hasebe received a return pass from Grafite and quickly looked up to see Edin Dzeko on the far post being marked by Patrice Evra. The Bosnian had little trouble rising above the Frenchman to steer a header into the bottom corner.[LNB]Thankfully for the champions, Giggs replied quickly after Anderson had been brought down. As the 35-year-old's first United goal came thanks to a huge deflection off Colin Hendry in 1991, there was something symmetrical about the sight of his 150th ending up in the net in very similar fashion as the ball cannoned into the Wolfsburg wall and left Benaglio helpless.[LNB]Giggs' contribution did not end there though. After Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov had started the move, the Welshman stretched to push a pass into Carrick's path 12 minutes from time. Under pressure to score after his earlier failure, Carrick celebrated like a relieved man as a first-time curling shot nestled in the net with Benaglio beaten in comprehensive fashion, this time in more orthodox fashion.
