Jose Mourinho celebration sparks angry reaction as Manchester United shock Juventus

A late free-kick from Juan Mata and a scrappy own goal off Alex Sandro gave United a crucial 2-1 victory after Cristiano Ronaldo's sensational volley had looked like securing top spot for Juventus.

In the reverse fixture at Old Trafford last month, Mourinho made a three fingered gesture at the visiting supporters in reference to the treble he won with Inter in 2009/10 - including the Serie A title which was clinched with a 2-0 win against Juve.
