Manchester United stun AS Roma 3-2 in Champions League: Stats

Matchweek 4 of the competition started on a sour note for the Red Devils as Matias Soule and Donyell Malan's penalty put them two goals down early on. United made a comeback in the 2nd half and sealed the contest 3-2 to end a nine-game winless run in all competitions.

Turning point Matheus Cunha helps United complete comeback Despite the early setback, United showed resilience. Captain Bruno Fernandes kept his nerve to drive home a twice-taken penalty after a Roma player entered the area.

Then, Matheus Cunha capitalized on an error by Leonardo Balerdi to equalize for United. The Brazilian then scored from an acute angle four minutes before time, sealing a sensational victory for his team.

Injury update Baleba sustains hamstring injury United's night got worse when midfielder Carlos Baleba picked up a hamstring injury in the 2nd half that could keep him out for some time. Baleba almost handed United a chance to score but pulled out of a cross with a hamstring issue.

Fans protest against the club's ownership The two goals turned Old Trafford into a cauldron of discontent with fans protesting against the club's ownership by throwing green tennis balls onto the pitch, releasing green and gold balloons, and chanting songs against minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and director of football Jason Wilcox.
