Champions League results: Man United leave it late against PSG

While PSG came into the PSG vs Man United clash as favourites, it was the Red Devils who went home with all the three points. In a pulsating clash which saw the hosts dominate the ball, it was a twice taken Bruno Fernandes penalty which gave the visitors the lead in the first half. However, scores became level in the PSG vs Man United game after Anthony Martial inadvertently headed the ball into his own net as the striker attempted to clear a corner. In the end though, it was usual suspect Marcus Rashford who rose to the occasion against PSG, scoring minutes from full time to hand his side a memorable victory.
