\u201879: Zirkzee shrugs off two defenders and lays the ball off trying to find Mbeumo, but the link-up isn\u2019t quite there.<\/p>\n

<\/a>GOAL! Man Utd 2-1 Atletico Madrid<\/p>\n

\u201874: Mbeumo at the double! Fletcher wins the ball high up the pitch, with his cross deflected twice and Mbeumo capitalising on their luck to turn it home.<\/p>\n

<\/a>SAVE! Man Utd 1-1 Atletico Madrid<\/p>\n

\u201872: Lemar threads a lovely pass inside Yoro to a teammate down the left, with Heaton forced into a good diving save.<\/p>\n

\u201870: Free-kick to Atletico as Mount leaves it late with a challenge… we can hear Heaton busily organising his wall. Lemar punts it in but Santos makes the block. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Man Utd 1-1 Atletico Madrid<\/p>\n

\u201864: Some more subs, as Simeone replaces his entire team: Bonar, Martinez, Esteban, Romeo Hueso, Luque, Sola and Lemar are all on, with Dominguez, Hancko, Ruggeri, Castillo, Ortiz, Lookman and Martin all making way. An entirely different XI now.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Man Utd 1-1 Atletico Madrid<\/p>\n

\u201861: Lacey floats down the right, cuts inside, leaves Ruggeri for dust and lets fly a shot at close range – but it\u2019s straight into Salvi Esquivel\u2019s gloves.<\/p>\n
