The Story in 60 Seconds

Manchester United mounted a stunning second-half comeback to defeat AS Roma 3-2 in the UEFA Champions League at Old Trafford. Roma took an early 2-0 lead through an 11th-minute strike by Matias Soule and an 18th-minute penalty converted by Donyell Malen. However, the Italian side collapsed in the second half, allowing United to turn the match around and secure victory.
