MANCHESTER, England, Sept 16  - Barcelona staged a dramatic
              fightback from 2-0 down to hold Manchester United to a 3-3 draw in their Champions
              League Group D match at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

              United had stormed into a two goal half time lead with goals from Ryan Giggs in the
              17th minute and Paul Scholes in the 24th as the English side took charge of the
              match.

              But Louis Van Gaal's reorganised Spanish side took control in an eventful second
              half.

              Brazilian Sonny Anderson fired home from close range in the 47th minute before his
              compatriot Giovanni levelled from the spot in the 60th after Rivaldo had been tripped
              by Dutch defender Jaap Stam.

              United took the lead again through a brilliant curling free-kick from David Beckham
              in the 64th minute but the resilient Barcelona side equalised six minutes later.

              The impressive Luis Enrique converted a penalty after substitute Nicky Butt was
              sent off for blocking Anderson's shot with his hand in the goalmouth.
