Manchester United erased a two-goal deficit after the break to turn Old Trafford upside down and beat Roma in a Champions League thriller.
Manchester United staged a Champions League comeback for the ages at Old Trafford, climbing off the canvas from two goals down to beat Roma in a second half that will be talked about for a long time.
Roma had the home side on the ropes and looked in control with a two-goal cushion. United needed an immediate response, and the second half delivered one. They came out with real urgency and turned a night of frustration into one of pure belief.
The momentum shifted and the Old Trafford crowd sensed it. Every United attack was met with a louder roar, and Roma, so assured earlier, were forced onto the back foot as the hosts kept coming.
The result is a statement of character from United on one of Europe's biggest stages. Fight back from a hole like that against a side as experienced as Roma, and you remind the continent what this fixture can still produce when the pressure is on.
