​Man Utd midfielder Carrick scores late equaliser in testimonial

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick celebrated his testimonial by scoring a long distance equaliser in the dying stages of the game.

The match between the Man Utd 08' XI and the Carrick All-Stars ended 2-2.

The Carrick All Stars – who were comprised of players such as John Terry, Clarence Seedoorf and Jamie Carragher – were up 2-1 after Robbie Keane chipped Edwin van der Sar.

The Manchester United 08' team was made up of the Red Devils players who beat Chelsea in the Champions League final that season – which included Carrick.

With 70,000 fans in attendance, Carrick provided a fitting end to the match when he lashed home a strike late in the game.
