Man Utd Snap Winless Streak with Roma Comeback
Matheus Cunha scored twice in three minutes as United overturned a two-goal deficit, with Bruno Fernandes converting a retaken penalty.
On Tuesday, Manchester United staged a dramatic 3-2 comeback against AS Roma at Old Trafford in the Champions League, rallying from 2-0 down with a Bruno Fernandes penalty and two late goals from Matheus Cunha.
Heading into the match, United endured a nine-game winless run amid their worst seasonal start since the 1980s, while fans protested against the American-based Glazer family owners by throwing tennis balls onto the pitch.
Roma surged to a 2-0 lead within 18 minutes through goals from Matias Soule and Donyell Malen, with United suffering a further blow when Carlos Baleba exited in the 46th minute with a hamstring injury.
A retaken penalty from Fernandes in the 58th minute sparked the comeback; Cunha scored twice in the final 10 minutes to seal victory before being sent off for a second yellow card in stoppage time.
Wayne Rooney criticized the team's lack of "confidence or belief," while Alan Shearer praised manager Carrick's halftime adjustments. The result provides a lifeline for Carrick before United faces Aston Villa.
Manchester United finishes his black series of nine games without victory and wins in the Champions League against Rome. The best team in the royal class remains Paris St. Germain, which celebrates a Kanter victory.
Another bad joke for Roma in the Champions League. Gasperini's team gets two goals back, as happened with Real Madrid, and loses 3-2 at the Old Trafford against Manchester United...
