Manchester United came from two goals down to beat AS Roma 3-2 at Old Trafford in a UEFA Champions League league-stage matchday 4 fixture. Matheus Cunha scored twice in the last eight minutes before being sent off in stoppage time, as the home side ended a run of nine games without a win.

Roma had looked in control early on. Matías Soulé opened the scoring in the 11th minute from Rodrigo Mora's assist, and Donyell Malen doubled the lead from the penalty spot in the 17th. United went in at half-time 2-0 down and with little to show for a spell of pressure.
Bruno Fernandes pulled one back from the penalty spot in the 58th minute, but it took until the 83rd for United to level, Cunha scoring. He struck again three minutes later, finishing after Shea Lacey's assist, to put United 3-2 ahead.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Manchester United 36%, the draw 24%, AS Roma 40%. It finished Manchester United 3–2 AS Roma.
Roma's stronger rating gives them a slight edge — AS Roma lead mainly because they sit 128 points higher on our strength rating, 1885 to 1757, though Manchester United's cold finishing streak, a type that tends to bounce back, pulls the other way. The draw starts at 28%, the usual rate for this gap, and falls to 24% because both sides' recent games average 3.4 goals.
Why AS Roma at 40%?
AS Roma sit 128 points higher on our strength rating — 1885 to 1757. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge on the road won 39.8% of 14,862 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 33–30–37.
Why only 40%?
Manchester United sit -0.30 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Finishing swings carry a receipt at this rating gap too: sides finishing this cold won 38.4% of 2,986 such games where the class table expected 35.5%.
Why the draw at 24%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.6%. These teams' recent games average 3.4 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.1% of 18,571. The goals environment takes 2.4 points off the draw. The bounce-back factor takes 1.2 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
AS Roma have averaged 6 percentage points more possession than Manchester United in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. AS Roma scored +0.56 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 3,221 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 41.0% vs 42.3% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
