UEFA Champions League Report: Juventus v Manchester United 07 November 2018

UEFA Champions League 

Result: Juventus 1-2 Manchester United

Date: 07 November 2018

Venue: Juventus Stadium

Manchester United staged yet another comeback, as they rallied back from a goal down to defeat Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus 2-1 in the UEFA Champions League.

Jose Mourinho made two changes from the side that defeated Bournemouth, as Jesse Lingard and Ander Herrera replaced Fred and Juan Mata.

The Serie A outfit looked more threatening going forward in the early stages, although they were only restricted to efforts from distance.

The woodwork came to United's rescue after 33 minutes as Cristiano Ronaldo did well to pick out Sami Khedira, whose first-time effort crashed against the upright.

United, meanwhile, had patches of dominance in the first half but they were unable to carve out chances in the final third without any focal point in the attack.

Five minutes into the second half, the woodwork denied Juventus once again, with Paulo Dybala rattled the crossbar with a venomous strike from the edge of the box.

The deadlock was eventually broken in the 65th minute as Leonardo Bonucci's long-ball found Ronaldo, who scored with an impressive first-time volley from close range.

Jose Mourinho opted for a double change in the 78th minute as Mata and Marouane Fellaini replaced Ander Herrera and Alexis Sanchez.

The change paid off as Mata brought United level in the 86th minute with a wonderful free-kick that left Szczesny with no chance.

The turnaround was complete in the 89th minute as Ashley Young's free-kick cause mayhem in the box and ended with Alex Sandro deflecting the ball into his own net.
