Please help me find the right word!
I'm looking for a word in English, which will change the meaning of the sentence as explained further.
I will refer to it as [Word]
Here's a sentence: "Manchester United have won!"
I want to change it like here: "Manchester United have [Word] won" or "Manchester United have won [Word]"
And with this word used the sentence would mean that, yes, winning is what they usually do and in that particular game they had been expected to win, but that win wasn't easy at all, ie. they either had been losing throughout the game or were simply unlucky with their final shots, ie. it didn't look like they would win, yet they won
My guesses are:
"Manchester United have won after all"
"Manchester United have nonetheless won"
I'm not so confident about either of those. Maybe you have a better option?
Thank you!

You could use
- "only just" won. Meaning they didn't deserve to win but scraped in at the end.

No single word is going to replace the 50 you used to describe the situation. Adding a few more, you can get a little closer.
It wasn’t easy, but ManU have won after all.
It was a struggle at times, but ManU won after all.

"Manchester United have won after all"
"Manchester United have nonetheless won"
"Manchester United have won unexpectedly"
"Manchester United have nonetheless triumphed"
"Manchester United have conquered after all"
"Manchester United have nonetheless succeeded"
"Manchester United have overcome"
There are many adjectives and verb combinations you could/can use, it would depend on what exactly happened in the game and the consequences of the end result.

A single word?
No other changes?
for example
staggered eventually to the expected win :)
undeservedly?
