Juan Mata and an Alex Sandro own goal late on secured a dramatic turnaround, as Manchester United beat Juventus in Turin.
Match Events
16' CHANCE! Ronaldo's shot wide out
Ronaldo takes aim from around 25 yards and strikes it well, but De Gea watches it fly past the post.
35' OFF THE POST! Khedira almost scores
OFF THE POST! Best chance of the game so far falls to Juventus after a fine passing move. Ronaldo drags the ball across the face of goal and Khedira has space in the middle but does not connect with his shot properly, seeing it bounce off the frame of the goal.
49' CHANCE! Martial's shot wide out
Martial cuts inside onto his right foot and tries to curl a finish into the far corner beyond the reach of Szczesny but his attempt bounces wide of the mark.
50' OFF THE BAR! Dybala almost scores
OFF THE BAR! United's defence stands off Dybala and he shifts onto his left foot before shaping up to shoot just inside the area, curling a fantastic effort that leaves De Gea helpless but it smashes off the crossbar.
65'GOAL! Juventus 1-0 Man Utd (Cristiano Ronaldo)
GOOOAL! 1-0 Juventus! Bonucci plays a superb ball from the halfway line over the top of the United defence to Ronaldo, who has burst into space, and he smashes home a first-time effort to net his first Champions League goal since his switch from Real Madrid.
86'GOAL! Juventus 1-1 Man Utd (Mata)
GOOOOAL! 1-1! Mata steps up to dispatch the free-kick superbly as he lifts the ball over the ball and beyond the reach of Szczesny. A superbly struck attempt and one that could prove to be priceless in United's Champions League campaign.
89'OWN GOAL! Juventus 1-2 Man Utd (Alex Sandro)
GOOOOOOOOAL! 2-1 Manchester United! Unbelievable! Young takes a free-kick near the touchline and curls in a dangerous cross that goes all the way through. Szczesny does not deal with it properly and pushes it onto Bonucci, then bouncing off Alex Sandro and into the net.
Match Report
Manchester United scored twice in the last four minutes to come from behind and secure a 2-1 away Champions League win over Juventus, cancelling out Cristiano Ronaldo's stunning opener.
Juve appeared to be sailing through to the knockout phase as Group H winners after Ronaldo's glorious strike, but substitute Juan Mata drew the visitors level and an Alex Sandro own goal completed a remarkable finish.
United appeared to have a little more about them than they did when taught a footballing lesson by Juve at Old Trafford two weeks ago, though the hosts still controlled the first half and almost scored when Sami Khedira hit the post.
After Paulo Dybala hit the bar, there was to be no denying Ronaldo's sumptuous effort 25 minutes from the end, but Mata struck with a fine free-kick and then Alex Sandro bundled into his own net at the death, meaning Juve have not yet secured qualification.

If you watched the game you’d see Mou swapped the three fingers with cupping a hand to his ear trying to hear what the haters were saying. I don’t like him but he embraces the thug life

If there was a game where you thought the scoreline was unfair, this would be it. Idk what kinda luck United got but after getting dominated for like 80 minutes, they somehow lucked out so crazily to win. Feel bad for Juve, it was not their night. The bus was indeed strong today. Anyways won't go on about it being unfair cos a wins a win, well played United, as lucky as that was, you outdid everyone's expectations of you. Also really miss Mata but glad he's doing well even though it's for our rivals. My opinion a draw would have been good but United takes it tonight...

Once again, you have to give credit to Jose Mourinho for his brilliant subs. Time and time again this season his subs have changed the game at crucial times of the match. Mata with a brilliant free kick and Fellaini’s flick on caused havoc for the second goal.

Some stats here ⚽: 1. Since losing 0-3 to Manchester United in the second group stage in February 2003, Juventus have lost just one of their 35 home Champions League matches in the group stages 🧐 2. Cristiano Ronaldo has ended a drought of 20 shots and 453 minutes without a goal in the UEFA Champions League, with his opener against Manchester United.

so many chances created by cr7...but they just can't utilize them properly 😑

I have, this year, seen all matches of Juventus. The deep defence needs to be strengthened. Most defenders when overlaps are not able to return promptly creating a big gap for counterattack which ultimately becomes very difficult to challenge. Last night it happened on a number of occasions resulting them to concede two goals. Players are also involved in unnecessary fouls especially within 30/40 yards outside penalty box. If this weakness is not cured by the Manager, our expectation may likely to gradually fall. Players should undergo extensive training to learn how to place ball within the net and not just outside the goal.

This loss is good for Juventus, they still have a long way to go and they must understand that they haven’t won anything yet . This game is a wake up call for them . Ronaldo scored a beautiful goal and they lost lots of scoring chances. This juventus team still needs improvement and a great coach. Allegri is 2nd best not good enough to take this team to a top level. In January juventus need to buy a real good top 9 . Mandzukic is not good enough for that job . A top 9 that will help Ronaldo up front. After that goal juventus disrespected Man u . Juventus where the better team but it’s goals that counts . Juventus miss Buffon as well.

What a stunner against the old lady. Hoe history repeat itself, Juventus can never believe the shocker that fell on them. 2003 ManU did it with sir Alex Ferguson and did it again 2018 with the "SPECIAL ONE". Jose Mourinho will be rest assured his team is still alive. Up Manchester United for life.
