Story updated
The story in brief
7-second readMatheus Cunha reflects on his dramatic late goals and red card in Manchester United's 3-2 comeback win over AS Roma, sharing his emotions post-match.
From the source
Matheus Cunha had a busy final ten minutes on Tuesday night. Manchester United dramatically came from 0–2 down to win 3–2 against AS Roma at Old Trafford.
The Brazilian Cunha was the architect, scoring in the 83rd minute to equalise after a defensive mix-up. His main moment came in the 86th minute, however, when he finished a sweeping move and jumped into the crowd to celebrate.
His evening was not over, as in added time he was sent off for a second yellow offence after pressing too vigorously and taking down the Roma defender.
