  Cristiano Ronaldo took the headlines with his winner as Manchester United beat Atalanta 3-2 after a dramatic comeback in the UEFA Champions League.  Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who enjoyed many battles with Sir Alex Ferguson down the years, assessed our performance against the Serie A side for beIN Sports. The talismanic Portuguese star headed home nine minutes from time – give the Reds a 3-2 victory after earlier goals from Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire to make a comeback possible. Rashford was a starter for the first time since his recovery from shoulder surgery and it was clear to see his impact throughout the match as United create countless chances on the night. The midfield combination of Scott McTominay and Fred was a source of frustration again for Paul Scholes, who gave his verdict to BT Sport during the match, but Wenger believes the Brazilian ace gave United a platform to spark up the important win.

secured another piece of silverware on Wednesday night as they beat Villarreal on penalties in their Super Cup clash in Belfast. There were jubilant scenes in the dressing room after as Jorginho and Antonio Rudiger had a bit of a dance-off. 

Hakim Ziyech fired Thomas Tuchel’s side into the lead in the 27th minute, turning a Kai Havertz cutback past Sergio Asenjo. But the night would end in a worrying manner for the Moroccan, substituted before half-time with a shoulder injury.

After Gerard Moreno equalised in the second half, the game was settled on penalties. Kepa Arrizabalaga replaced Edouard Mendy late in extra time in a planned move and the Spaniard was the hero, saving two spot-kicks to ensure it was Chelsea whose name adorned another trophy.

Both Jorginho and Rudiger slotted their penalties in assured style and the pair were in the mood to celebrate back in the dressing room, taking part in a dance-off in the middle of the floor.

Brought on as a substitute with seconds remaining in extra time, Arrizabalaga saved two spot kicks as Chelsea beat Villarreal 6-5 in a penalty shootout to win the UEFA Super Cup. Tuchel had been informed by his team of statisticians that Arrizabalaga has a better record at saving penalties than first-choice goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, so the substitution was made in the 119th minute of a match that ended 1-1 after 90 and 120 minutes of play. Kepa had already saved a penalty from Aissa Mandi when he dived low to his right again to deny Raul Albiol's attempt in what proved to be the final kick of the shootout at Windsor Park in Northern Ireland. As Chelsea's players sprinted from the halfway line to celebrate with Kepa, one of the first to reach him was Mendy. "It's fantastic how Edu accepts it," Tuchel said. "We needed to do what's best for the team. ... The...
