Manchester United forced a dramatic turn of events Wednesday against Juventus, scoring twice in the final five minutes of regular time to win 2-1 in Turin.

Juan Mata’s curling free-kick in the 86th minute canceled out Cristiano Ronaldo’s spectacular volley earlier in the second half, and an own goal condemned the Bianconeri to an unexpected defeat.

United manager Jose Mourinho angered the home supporters when he put his hand to his ear after the final whistle, an apparent response to repeated insults from the partisan crowd.

The last-minute theatrics changed the mood entirely at the Allianz Stadium, where Juventus threw away the chance to book a place in the knockout stages and win Group H.

“This defeat has to serve as a lesson,” defender Giorgio Chiellini told UEFA.com. “And if we want to go to Madrid in June, we have to grow.”

Ronaldo gave the Bianconeri a 1-0 lead midway through the second half when he swung through Leonardo Bonucci’s arching long ball. It was Ronaldo’s first in the Champions League with Juventus.

Massimiliano Allegri’s side peppered United’s goal throughout the contest, firing 23 shots to the visitors’ nine.

Allegri threw on a third defender in Andrea Barzagli in the hopes of closing out the match, but Mourinho’s changes made a bigger impact. Mata replaced Ander Herrera shortly before equalizing, and Marouane Fellaini, who came on for Alexis Sanchez, redirected the free-kick that led to Bonucci’s own goal.

The goals condemned Juventus to their first defeat of the season in all competitions and their first loss at home in the Champions League since 2009.

Juventus still remain in first place with nine points, while United moved ahead of Valencia into second with seven points.

Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United pulled a seemingly impossible result out of the bag on Wednesday, scoring twice in the final five minutes to turn an impending 1-0 defeat to Juventus into a 2-1 win in Turin.

Mourinho was clearly pleased. The Portuguese boss took to the pitch after the full-time whistle, cupping his ear to the Bianconeri fans in a gesture which he says was a response to abuse he received throughout the game.

“I was insulted for 90 minutes,” Mourinho said after the game, via the Guardian’s Barney Ronay. “I do my work and nothing more. At the end I didn’t insult anyone, I just did the gesture that I wanted to hear them more. I wouldn’t do it again. But I came here as a professional that does his work and people insulted my family, this is why I reacted this way. I don’t want to think about it.”

He added, according to The Telegraph’s James Ducker: “I probably shouldn’t have done it, and with a cool head I wouldn’t have done it, but with my family insulted, including my Inter family, I reacted like this.”

Admitting that his actions weren’t the wisest idea is likely a reaction to the situation Mourinho has found himself in over the past few weeks. He was the subject of an investigation after comments allegedly made following United’s win over Newcastle United. Mourinho has since been cleared, though the FA is appealing the decision.

United’s late comeback on Wednesday puts them second to Juve in Group H, two points behind the Italian champions and two ahead of Valencia in third.
