Manchester United were hammered 4-1 by Como in the Champions League on Wednesday as the pressure increased on beleaguered manager Michael Carrick, while a late Declan Rice equaliser earned Arsenal a 2-2 draw away to Bayern Munich .
This was a second 4-1 home win in this season’s competition for the tournament debutants. Nico Paz scored twice for Cesc Fabregas’s Como, with Tasos Douvikas and Jacobo Ramon getting their other goals. Last season’s beaten finalists Arsenal have seven points from a possible nine after Rice struck in the 82nd minute to earn a draw in Munich.
Kylian Mbappe made it 12 goals in 12 games this season for Real before Tidiam Gomis pulled one back, but Yan Diomande completed Real’s victory with a spectacular volley against his former club. Inter had Alessandro Bastoni sent off midway through the second half before Carlos Augusto’s late goal secured a 1-0 win at home to Shakhtar Donetsk, as the Italian champions got their first points. Harry Kane set up that goal with a magnificent pass and then gave Bayern the lead from a second-half penalty, his 10th strike this season in all competitions. Jose Mourinho’s Real are one of five teams with three wins from three in this season’s Champions League, as goals either side of half-time from Bernardo Silva and Arda Guler set them on their way at the Bernabeu.
“We looked dangerous, we got the goal and we had a moment there where we could have killed off the game,” Kane told broadcaster DAZN.
