Manchester United came from behind to beat Villarreal in an action-packed Champions League Group F match thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's injury-time winner. Unai Emery, the visiting manager, will be left wondering how his team did not win all three points. In the first seven minutes, United started strongly, with Bruno Fernandes scooping over and Ronaldo missing the target with a header.
Villarreal assumed control after that, but they were unable to strike in a first half in which they generated numerous chances. David de Gea, United's goalkeeper, produced crucial reflex saves to deny Arnaut Danjuma and Paco Alcacer, as well as Yeremi Pino. When Raphael Varane miscalculated the bounce of the ball, Alcacer could have scored, but dragged his effort wide, while Alberto Moreno and Pino both blasted over from promising positions.
