CRISTIANO RONALDO scored a late winning goal to complete a stunning Manchester United comeback against Atalanta in the Champions League on Wednesday. United players were staring down the barrel of a fifth loss in eight matches and were booed by some fans as they trudged off at half-time trailing by two goals, only for the Red Devils to storm back memorably at Old Trafford. Marcus Rashford struck on his first start since the Europa League final and Harry Maguire lashed home a leveler, setting up a box-office finish that Ronaldo delivered with a powerful header from Luke Shaw’s cross. The 3-2 victory provided a much-needed shot in the arm for the Red Devils, who moved top of the group and welcome Liverpool to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, Chelsea got its defense of the trophy back on track as Jorginho scored two penalties in a 4-0 drubbing of Malmo in the rain at Stamford Bridge. However, their evening was marred by an injury to Romelu Lukaku, who hobbled off after being hurt winning the first penalty of the night midway through the first half. Andreas Christensen had given Chelsea the lead before that. Kai Havertz scored Chelsea’s other goal, but Thomas Tuchel’s side also saw Timo Werner come off before the break. “We have a twist of the ankle for Romelu, and muscle injury and hamstring for Timo, so they will be some days out, I guess,” Tuchel said. “We have a lot of games, so now we have to find solutions, no excuses.” Chelsea is second in Group H but Juventus is top with three wins out of three after substitute Dejan Kulusevski’s late header secured a 1-0 victory against Zenit Saint Petersburg in Russia. Bayern scored four times in the final 20 minutes to defeat Benfica 4-0 in Lisbon and maintains a 100-percent record in Group E. The German champions saw Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Mueller have goals disallowed before Leroy Sane’s free-kick put them ahead at the Estadio da Luz, the scene of their victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the 2020 final. Barcelona gave its own hopes of reaching the last 16 a boost as Gerard Pique’s first-half strike proved enough for a 1-0 victory at home to Dynamo Kiev in front of a half-empty Camp Nou.(SD-Agencies) |
