Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winner tonight as Manchester United came from two goals down to beat Atalanta 3-2 in the Champions League Group F tie at Old Trafford.
The first half was a disaster for the Red Devils as they fell behind to goals from Pasalic and Demiral for the Italians.
But an inspired fightback saw Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire find the net before Ronaldo clinched it with a superb header.
The 36-year-old has now scored in all three of United’s Chamoions League ties this season, also having found the net against Villareal and Young Boys.

Ronaldo’s all-round performance was superb. He is often criticised for his lack of pressing but when shifted to the left wing upon Edinson Cavani’s arrival, he worked back tirelessly to help Luke Shaw and put in some crucial defensive work.
His celebrations at the end of the match showed just how much it means to him but also how much hunger the Portuguese still has.
