Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 3 Nov, 22:50 · Archive

Manchester United recovered from going 2-0 down after 17 minutes to beat Roma 3-2 in the Champions League.

Manchester United staged a stunning comeback at Old Trafford to beat Roma 3-2 in the Champions League. The club recovered from their worst-ever start to a European home game after going 2-0 down after just 17 minutes, which was the quickest United had ever conceded twice in any European game at their stadium.

A rousing second-half performance turned the match around. Bruno Fernandes converted a retaken penalty and Matheus Cunha scored twice, though Cunha was sent off. The much-needed win provides relief for manager Michael Carrick, whose season has been troubled.

Elsewhere in the Champions League on the same night, Paris Saint-Germain set a new record as the quickest team to score four goals in the competition's history, reaching 4-0 after 17 minutes against Villarreal en route to a 6-0 victory. Barcelona beat Aston Villa 3-0 and Bayern Munich won 2-0 at Atletico Madrid. Sporting Lisbon beat Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 under reserve coach Tiago Fernandes, a day after the club parted ways with their previous coach Rui Borges. Galatasaray defeated Stuttgart 2-0 with Aleksey Batrakov scoring in the 12th and 15th minutes.
