SUPER-SUB Ryan Giggs won the plaudits of United's match-winning goalscorers against Stoke City. Dimitar Berbatov benefited from the Welshman's craft when he opened the goal account latching onto an assist. "The game changed when Ryan came on," said the Bulgarian striker. "You can see the through the number of years he has been able to play for United how much he helps by being on the pitch. "He makes the right decisions. That is what got us the three points. It was his cross to me and his free-kick for John O'Shea. He changed the game." O'Shea completed United's success with the second goal from a Giggs free-kick. "Ryan Giggs coming on gave us that experience. He was able to use the gaps that they leave. It proved crucial for us," said the right-back. "You can see from the goals we got; the run for Darren Fletcher to play that great through ball, which Berba finished off nicely, it is Ryan all over. "He gets on the blind side of defenders which means he doesn't have to use his pace. The run itself is enough. It caught them out. "For my goal I just said to Ryan I would try to get across the keeper. It was a great ball in and thankfully I was able to knock it in. It was great to score on my 350th appearance for United."
