Highlights: Man United produce historical comeback in Paris

Published on

Manchester United became the first team in Champions League history to turn-around a 2-0 home first-leg deficient after their 3-1 victory against Paris Saint-Germain sealed a memorable comeback and booked their spot in the quarter-finals.

United came into the game at the Parc des Princes with a much changed starting line-up as they were without a host of injured stars and the suspended Paul Pogba also missed out.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men, however, got off to the perfect start when Romelu Lukaku fired them into the lead on the night with just two minutes played, cutting the PSG’s aggregate advantage to 2-1.

Thomas Tuchel’s men only needed 10 minutes to hit back as Juan Bernat netted the equaliser which looked to kill any early momentum of their English opponents.

United though took the lead again as experienced goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon spilled a long range Marcus Rashford effort, allowing Lukaku to pounce and net his second for the night.

The Red Devils were forced to defend for the vast majority of the second half, but completed the historic comeback in injury time as Rashford tucked home from the spot after a VAR-reviewed penalty decision.
