STRANGE things happened at the Emirates last night.
Dirk Kuyt put in a barnstormer, we forgot how to defend at corners and we had a Champions League ref who officiated with sense and maturity.
Best of all, we've given ourselves a great chance to once again make the semi-final of the Champions League.
Steve Bennett produced a worryingly inept display on Sunday afternoon.
And before anyone interjects, a petulant Javier Mascherano let his side down massively as well.
If what happened at Old Trafford doesn't act as some kind of watershed for a new brand of adult and mature player behaviour and sensible grown up refereeing, then it's a huge opportunity gone begging.
