Cunha's Late Brace Completes Stunning United Comeback as Roma Throw Away Two-Goal Lead

Manchester United produced the comeback of the Champions League night on Tuesday, overturning a two-goal half-time deficit to beat Roma 3-2 at Old Trafford. Goals from Matias Soule and Donyell Malen had the visitors swaggering at the break, with home supporters booing a side seemingly heading for a tenth match without victory. Bruno Fernandes gave United a lifeline just before the hour, converting a retaken penalty after encroachment was spotted when debutant Roma goalkeeper Devis Vasquez had saved his first attempt. The turnaround was completed by Matheus Cunha, who pounced on a defensive error seven minutes from time to level before hammering home a second from a narrow angle on the right just three minutes later. Cunha was then sent off, but ten-man United held on for a much-needed win that lifts them to 17th in the league phase with two wins and two defeats from four matches, two points ahead of Roma in 19th. Elsewhere on Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain thrashed Villarreal 6-0, Barcelona beat Aston Villa 3-0, Bayern Munich won 2-0 at Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan eased past Feyenoord 3-0.
