Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits Manchester United got 'lucky' in Wednesday's win over Villarreal.
The Red Devils nabbed a 2-1 victory thanks to a 95th minute goal from Cristiano Ronaldo.
Speaking after the game, Solskjaer said: "Champions League Old Trafford is magic and sometimes history can help us. Tonight, Cristiano came up with a good goal and Alex [Telles] scored a fantastic goal.
"That's what happens here at Old Trafford. It's happened so many times before. We had to throw caution to the wind and we got lucky in the end.
"To get the three points at home is important. We know we need to get to ten, maybe 12 points to go through. It's a massive result for the team and for the spirit of the team as well. It's a better way of winning a game than how we lost a few weeks ago. But that's football, it's just highs and lows and today we get a result that we're delighted about.
"I'd rather have a win and a defeat than two draws."
