Nice touch from Red Rom

A nice touch from Lukaku to go over to Benfica's teenage keeper and fellow countryman Mile Svilar, who made the error which led to United's winning goal, and give him a few words of comfort. Brilliant from the striker!

GOAL!

A howler from the keeper! Rashford gets the all-important opening goal - his sixth of the season - as his free-kick from the left hand side sails over Svilar's head and the teenager carries it over the line. Massive error but United take advantage! Get in!
