Manchester United stun PSG in Champions League

Thursday, 7 March 2019 07:18

Manchester United have booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League after beating Paris St-Germain on away goals.

Marcus Rashford found the back of the net after a VAR-awarded penalty-kick in the 94th minute.

It came after Romelu Lukaku scored twice in an entertaining first-half, which also saw PSG's Juan Bernat score.

The result makes them the first team in Champions League and European Cup history to overturn 2-0 or greater home first-leg deficit.

Elsewhere, Alex Telles scored a penalty in extra-time to send Porto through to the final eight at the expense of Roma.

It's the first time a side from Portugal have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League since the 2014-15 season.

The draw for the final eight fixtures will take place on March 15.
