Manchester United suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat to Como in the Champions League on Wednesday, marking their joint-worst loss in the competition over the past three decades. Nico Paz scored twice for the tournament debutants, with Tasos Douvikas and Jacobo Ramon adding the other goals. Joshua Zirkzee's late strike provided only consolation for United, who have now gone seven matches without a win across all competitions.
The result piles pressure on manager Michael Carrick following consecutive European defeats and just one Premier League victory this season. "For us to play in that way, it's not acceptable," Carrick said after the match. In contrast, Arsenal fought back from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich, with Declan Rice's 82nd-minute equaliser securing the point.
Elsewhere, Real Madrid defeated RB Leipzig 4-1 to remain unbeaten, with goals from Bernardo Silva, Arda Guler, Kylian Mbappe and Yan Diomande. Aston Villa also stayed perfect with a 3-1 home win over Viking Stavanger through Ross Barkley, Emiliano Buendia and Henrik Heggheim's own goal.
