Atletico deepen United woes as Viking hold Bayern to 3-3 draw

Atletico Madrid beat Manchester United 2-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday, extending United’s winless run to five matches. In Norway, Viking Stavanger surrendered a two-goal lead against Bayern Munich but scored late to claim a 3-3 draw.

The defeat in Madrid increased the pressure on United manager Michael Carrick. His side have won only once in their past seven outings, while Bayern’s draw came after Michael Olise was sent off in the second half.

Atletico strike early against United

Pablo Barrios put Atletico ahead inside the opening minute in the Spanish capital. Alejandro Grimaldo later hit the woodwork with a first-half free-kick, and Johnny Cardoso had a goal disallowed before the break.

United defender Leny Yoro was sent off late in the second half, and Ademola Lookman scored Atletico’s second in the 79th minute. Atletico had lost to Liverpool in their opening European encounter but recovered to take all three points against United.

“Tonight is a one-off game in judgement, it is the Champions League and a tough place to come. We are doing certain things OK,” Carrick told Amazon Prime.

Viking rescue draw after Bayern comeback

Viking led 2-0 at half-time in Stavanger through a second-minute header from Gianni Stensness and a goal by Peter Christiansen. The Norwegian side are competing in the Champions League after winning their first domestic title in 34 years.

Harry Kane pulled one back from the penalty spot early in the second half and then headed in the equaliser. Luis Diaz scored to put Bayern ahead, completing a turnaround that looked set to deny Viking a result.

Olise was sent off in the 74th minute after receiving a booking and then a second yellow card seconds later for throwing the ball at an opponent. Herman Haugen headed in Viking’s equaliser in the last minute.
