Champions League: Cristiano Ronaldo saves Manchester United again

Cristiano Ronaldo’s late header saw Manchester United come from 2-0 down at half-time to produce a stunning second-half with a 3-2 victory against Atalanta.

The comeback relieved the pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as his position at United was firmly in the spotlight following Saturday’s 4-2 defeat at Leicester.

The pressure looked to be mounting on Ole Gunnar as goals from Pasalic and Demiral saw Atalanta take a 2-0 lead on a dramatic Champions League night at Old Trafford.

However, Marcus Rashford made up for missing a glorious chance by pulling a goal back eight minutes into the second half and sparking another remarkable fightback.

Captain Harry Maguire swept in the equalizer in the 75th minute and, Ronaldo rose to head in a Luke Shaw cross to clinch a 3-2 victory in the 81st minute.

United are now top of Group F, two points clear of Atalanta and Villarreal.
