Ole Gunnar Solskjaer proved to be Manchester United's super-sub for the second game running as he rescued a point in the dying seconds for the champions against Leeds at Old Trafford today.

Leeds were on course for their first win at Old Trafford in 20 years after Mark Viduka had turned home Ian Harte's cross for his fifth goal of the season.

But in the 88th minute, Solskjaer, who came off the bench to break the deadlock against Olympiakos on Wednesday, headed home Ryan Giggs' cross to earn United a draw against the league leaders.

With just 100 seconds of normal time remaining, Solskjaer lived up to his unwanted super-sub label once again when he headed home Giggs' cross to score United's equaliser.

United might even have won in stoppage time and Martyn made a terrific save to keep out a van Nistelrooy header.
