Manchester United staged a remarkable second-half comeback to defeat Roma 3\u20132 at Old Trafford, while Bayern Munich and Barcelona also recorded victories in Tuesday\u2019s UEFA Champions League fixtures.\n<\/p>\n
United overturned a two-goal deficit to secure all three points after Matheus Cunha scored twice late in the encounter, ending the visitors\u2019 hopes of a memorable away victory.\n<\/p>\n
Roma took an early lead in the 11th minute through Mat\u00edas Soul\u00e9 before Donyell Malen doubled their advantage from the penalty spot seven minutes later.\n<\/p>\n
The visitors went into the break with a comfortable 2\u20130 lead, leaving United with a difficult task in the second half.<\/p>\n
However, Bruno Fernandes reduced the deficit in the 58th minute with a penalty after an initial attempt was saved and ordered to be retaken following encroachment.<\/p>\n
Cunha then brought United level in the 83rd minute before completing the turnaround three minutes later to give the hosts a 3\u20132 lead.\n<\/p>\n
The Brazilian\u2019s night ended on a sour note, however, as he was sent off after receiving a second yellow card in stoppage time.<\/p>\n
The victory provided relief for manager Michael Carrick, whose side had been under pressure following a difficult run of results.\n<\/p>\n
In Madrid, Bayern Munich defeated Atletico Madrid 2\u20130 to strengthen their position in the competition. <\/p>\n
Eighteen-year-old Lennart Karl opened the scoring in the 54th minute, finishing after winning possession inside the penalty area and lifting the ball over goalkeeper Jan Oblak.\n<\/p>\n
Konrad Laimer sealed the victory in the 74th minute with a powerful finish, ensuring the German champions returned home with all three points.\n<\/p>\n
The result maintained Bayern\u2019s unbeaten run in the competition after their previous two draws.\n<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Barcelona defeated Aston Villa 3\u20130 at Camp Nou, with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha providing the goals.\n<\/p>\n
Yamal opened the scoring in the seventh minute after capitalising on a defensive error, giving the hosts an early advantage.<\/p>\n
Raphinha doubled Barcelona\u2019s lead in the 52nd minute before completing his brace in the 64th minute following an assist from Joao Cancelo.\n<\/p>\n
The victory ended Aston Villa\u2019s 100 per cent record in the Champions League, while Barcelona continued their impressive scoring form in the competition.\n<\/p>\n
