Manchester United produced a stunning comeback to beat Roma 3-2 at Old Trafford on Tuesday, November 3, ending a run of nine games without a win, on a dramatic night in the Champions League.
United's great escape
United were 2-0 down at half-time after a goal from Matías Soulé and a Donyell Malen penalty, and another painful defeat looked likely for manager Michael Carrick.
Bruno Fernandes pulled one back on 58 minutes with a penalty that had to be retaken after his first attempt was saved. Then Matheus Cunha took over, scoring in the 83rd and 86th minutes to complete the turnaround. Cunha's night ended early, however: he was sent off in injury time for a second yellow card.
The win offers Carrick some relief after a run that had left United close to the Premier League's relegation zone and followed Saturday's defeat at Chelsea.
PSG's record start
Paris Saint-Germain were even more ruthless. They led 4-0 at Villarreal after just 17 minutes through João Neves, Désiré Doué, Senny Mayulu and Fabián Ruiz. Ruiz added another after half-time and David Boly marked his Champions League debut with a late sixth.
The 6-0 win was PSG's tenth in a row in all competitions and kept them on top of the league-phase table.
Barcelona and Bayern win
Barcelona ended Aston Villa's perfect start in the competition with a 3-0 win at Camp Nou. Lamine Yamal scored early, and Raphinha added two in the second half, while goalkeeper Joan García made several important saves. It was a boost for Barcelona after their Clásico defeat by Real Madrid.
Bayern Munich won 2-0 at Atlético Madrid, without manager Vincent Kompany, who was absent on medical grounds, and injured stars Jamal Musiala and Luis Díaz. Eighteen-year-old Lennart Karl scored in the 54th minute, and Konrad Laimer added a second from Harry Kane's pass.
