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!
