A review of Barclays Premier League clubs playing in the Champions League on Wednesday.
A Ryan Giggs header six minutes from time gave Manchester United a point against Celtic in their Champions League Group E meeting at Parkhead.
In the 13th minute of a pulsating encounter Hoops striker Scott McDonald lobbed United's stand-in goalkeeper Ben Foster from 14 yards out to give the home side a half-time lead.
The Scottish champions withstood a second half of relentless pressure until six minutes to go when Giggs headed the equaliser in from close range after Artur Boruc had parried a Cristiano Ronaldo drive from distance. Meanwhile, Arsenal were frustrated with a goalless draw at home to Fenerbahce.
Despite creating the best chances at the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners failed to find the back of the net and honours were shared in the Group G tie.
Robin van Persie came closest for the hosts when he struck the crossbar before the break.
