He was regarded as a “super-sub” for his knack of coming off the substitute bench to score late goals. In injury time at the end of the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final, he scored the winning last-minute goal against Bayern Munich, with Manchester United having trailed 1–0 as the game passed 90 minutes, and winning the Treble for United.

It is also said that Manchester United became the only English club to have won all three trophies in a single year in 1999. However, the credit goes to Ole for his exceptional performance and match-winning goals.
