Manchester United produced the kind of comeback their fans had been longing for, overturning a 2-0 deficit against Roma on Tuesday. Roma had raced into a two-goal lead inside the first quarter of an hour, and at that point Michael Carrick looked to be in serious trouble. United’s second-half fightback changed the mood completely.
A lifeline for Carrick
The result gave Carrick a reprieve. Had the match gone the other way, his position would have been in serious doubt. Instead, the response in the final 30 minutes spared him from the sack and handed his side a much-needed boost.
Back in the Champions League race
The victory also reignited United’s hopes in the Champions League. After a night that seemed to be slipping away, the Red Devils are once again firmly in contention, and the comeback could prove a turning point in their European campaign.
