Ronaldo at the Double as United Salvage Late Point Away to Atalanta

INTERNATIONAL: Cristiano Ronaldo netted a brace as Manchester United twice fought from a goal down to draw 2-2 at Atalanta.United, forced to reorganise after French defender Raphael Varane went off injured, drewing level with a superbly worked goal on the stroke of halftime Ronaldo firing home after a flowing exchange of passes. But the Bergamo side restored their advantage in the 56th minute when Zapata broke past Harry Maguire, burst into the box and beat De Gea

Cristiano Ronaldo struck twice, including a stoppage-time equaliser, as Manchester United came from behind twice to earn a 2-2 draw away to Atalanta in the Champions League on Tuesday. Atalanta took a 12th-minute lead when Duvan Zapata cut in from the left and fed Josip Ilicic and the Slovenian's low drive crept under the body of United keeper David De Gea.

Manchester United Manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, "You know, the point here tonight is very important. I've said if you win your home games, and you get a result or two away from home you'll go through and the attitude to never give in was there. You cannot question the attitude. Of course, first half I thought we were a bit too sloppy. Gifted them a few too many transitions and turnovers, but the goal was excellent, the first one and, of course, we did create some openings. Could have scored more. They, the two goals they had, very, very tight calls for offsides. I'm sure their first one should be off as he blocks David's (de Gea) view, but then the second one is just fine margins, but, so, very pleased with the point."

The linesman's flag was raised for offside but after a lengthy VAR review the decision was overturned and the Italian side had the lead. Ronaldo then pounded on a loose ball on the edge of the box in stoppage time and blasted home a volley to earn a precious point for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
