(Reuters) - As a baby-faced striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made his name coming off the bench to score vital goals for Manchester United and his knack of making a dramatic impact appears undiminished.

On Saturday, however, it was his tactical nous rather than his lethal feet which did the trick as the Norwegian marked his first game in charge of Cardiff City with a 2-1 come-from-behind victory in the FA Cup third round at Newcastle United.
