Man of the Match JUSSI JAASKELAINEN HIS tide-turning penalty stop, though aided by a poor spot kick by Quinn, was just one of five crucial saves by the Mighty Finn, who came to the rescue when it mattered and provided Wanderers with a match-winning foundation. Magic Moment HAD they gone 2-1 down in such difficult conditions, Wanderers might have had their work cut out to salvage a point. Jaaskelainen's penalty save was the turning point of the game. Moan of the Match. STEVE Bruce's complaint that referee Alan Butler played too long in the first half was an argument he could never win. But then he spent so long playing for the arch time-watcher Alex Ferguson, so what else do you expect?
