Como delivered a stunning 4-1 victory over Manchester United on Matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League league phase, deepening the English club’s difficult run of form.

Como race into early control

The Serie A team made a fast start, with Argentine playmaker Nico Paz opening the scoring in just the second minute.

• Nico Paz put Como ahead inside two minutes.
• Douvikas later increased Como’s advantage.

United’s late response proves insignificant
