Manchester United Rally From 2-0 Down to Beat Roma 3-2
Matheus Cunha scored twice late in the second half at Old Trafford, ending a nine-game run without a win, NBC Sports and Al Jazeera reported.
Manchester United fought back after trailing by two to defeat Roma 3-2 in the Champions League at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.
Roma led 2-0 at halftime. Matias Soule scored first, and Donyell Malen added a penalty after a shot by Soule struck the arm of United defender Ayden Heaven.
United pulled one back in the second half when Bruno Fernandes scored from the penalty spot. His first attempt was saved, but the kick was retaken because Roma players had entered the area early, NBC Sports reported. Cunha then equalized after Roma defender Leonardo Balerdi mishandled a clearance and scored again moments later to make it 3-2.
NBC Sports reported that Cunha was sent off with a second yellow card in stoppage time; CBS Sports also referred to a late red card. The result ended a run of nine games without a win in all competitions for United, NBC Sports reported. Manager Michael Carrick had been under heavy pressure, and NBC Sports’ writer speculated that if the club decides to change manager, it would likely do so during the coming international break.
